Dislocation of the peroneal tendons.

It is our opinion that acute luxation of the peroneal tendons must be operated to prevent future disability. Chronic luxations of the peroneal tendons may be treated with a modified Kelly procedure, with anticipated excellent results. The diagnosis of acute luxations of the peroneal tendons continues to be difficult, and we hope that the guidelines listed in this paper will enable the clinician to be aware of this injury.
