Why is it important?
This study describes the surgical technique for reconstruction of irreparable peroneal brevis (PB) tendon tears using semitendinosus tendon autograft (STA) as an alternative to the allograft. This is the first study to present the surgical technique of reconstruction of the PB tendon using STA with clinical results.
Perspectives
The present study gives the perspective that reconstruction of PB tendon with STA may be an effective alternative technique to allograft tissues for PB tendon tears. It can decrease pain and restore PB strength without altering foot function.
