Abstract
Objective:To provide anatomical foundation for peroneus longus tendon diverted partly to repair the separation of tibiofibular syndesmosis.Methods:The morphological types of peroneus longus tendon and the size of tibia and fibula were observed and measured on thirty sides of adult lower limb specimens,and two specimens were tested according to the operational need.Results:If we make the site of 1.0 cm above ankle joint as standard,the length of peroneus longus above it was(16.0±1.6)cm and bellow it was(13.4±2.7)cm.The anteroposterior diameter of fibula was(2.1±0.5)cm;The anteroposterior diameter of tibia was(3.4±0.4)cm;The distance between the anterior margins of tibia and fibula was(2.8±0.4)cm.It was(1.4±0.3)cm between peroneus longus tendon and lateral margin of fibular and(5.3±0.4)cm between the medial margin of tibia and fibula.Conclusion:Peroneus longus tendon diverted partly to repair the separation of tibiofubular syndesmosis is feasible.
