Anatomy

The peroneal tendons are located in the lateral compartment of the leg. They are the primary structures provided foot eversion. They are important active stabilisers of the ankle joint. Three are three categories of painful peroneal tendon disorders: tendinopathy, instability (subluxation and dislocation), and tears and ruptures.

Indications and Efficacy

In a study of 96 patients who had peroneal tendon sheath injections, 25% progressed to surgery. 43.7% reported 0-1 weeks of pain relief, 12.6% 2-6 weeks, 6.9% 7-12 weeks, and 36.8% greater than 12 weeks. Preinjection duration of symptoms was associated with post-injection duration of pain relief (P=.036). Patients with less than 1 year of symptoms had a median 6-12 weeks of postinjection pain relief.[1] [1]

Equipment

Technique

Ultrasound Guided

Ultrasound guided in-plane peroneal tendon sheath injection
  • Position: Lateral decubitus
  • Outline distal fibula with a pen
  • Clean area with alcohol, and load 1mL of 1% lidocaine and 1mL of 40mg triamcinolone.
  • 25-gauge 1.5-inch needle
  • High frequency probe in transverse position
  • Visualise tendons running together at the level of the distal fibula
  • Visualise needle during injection to confirm intrasheath, extratendinous injection.

Landmark Guided

Landmark guidance is only 60% accurate, vs 100% accurate for ultrasound.

Complications

In a study of 96 patients, there were 2 reported complications (1.8%): 1 case of self-limited sural nerve irritation and 1 of peroneus longus tear progression.[1]
