Nine patients (11 cases) with recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons who were treated by surgically rerouting the tendons under the calcaneofibular liga ment were reviewed. Mean follow-up time was 30.5 months. An excellent or good result was obtained in all cases. This operative technique was previously de scribed in 1975, by Sarmiento and Wolf, in a case report.
