Numerous surgical procedures have been described and used in the treatment of recurrent dislocation of the peroneal tendons. One case treated successfully by reconstructing the superior peroneal retinaculum using the plantaris tendon is described here. The advantages and disadvantages in previously used procedures, as well as long‐term results, are discussed.
