Peroneotarsal Surgery: Repairing the Peroneal Tendons and Tarsal Bones

Peroneotarsal refers to the surgical procedure that involves the repair or reconstruction of the peroneal tendons and the tarsal bones in the foot. The peroneal tendons run along the outside of the ankle and connect the fibula bone to the foot bones, helping to stabilize the foot and ankle during movement.

The tarsal bones are a group of seven bones located in the hindfoot that form the arch of the foot. They include the heel bone (calcaneus), the talus bone, and the cuboid bone. The tarsal bones work together with the muscles and tendons to support the foot and ankle during weight-bearing activities.

Peroneotarsal surgery may be performed for a variety of conditions, such as:

* Peroneal tendon tears or ruptures
* Tarsal coalition (a congenital condition where the tarsal bones are abnormally fused together)
* Tarsal bone fractures
* Flatfoot deformity

The goal of peroneotarsal surgery is to restore the normal function of the foot and ankle by repairing or reconstructing the damaged tendons and bones. The procedure can be performed through a variety of techniques, including open surgery or arthroscopic surgery, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's individual needs.
