Resident Resources-Peroneal Tendinopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Ken Maroczek from NYU and Chief of Joint Diseases, Foot and Ankle Division, discusses perineal tendon pathology. He explains the anatomy of the perineal tendon, its function, and common pathologies such as tendonitis, tears, and subluxation. Maroczek discusses non-operative treatment options, including resting, activity modifications, anti-inflammatories, immobilization, and physical therapy. He mentions the use of MRI for diagnosis and when surgical treatment may be necessary. Surgical options for tendon tears and dislocation are explained, including repairing the tendon directly, weaving the brevis and longus together, and deepening the groove with repair or imbrication of the superior perineal retinaculum (SPR). The video concludes with a case study and a surgical procedure demonstration.
