- W4385320171 abstract "An isolated avulsion fracture of the peroneus longus tendon is seldom seen and potentially can go undiagnosed using basic imaging methods during an initial emergency visit. If not managed appropriately it can lead to chronic pain, a reduced range of motions and eventually affect mobility. This article brings to light the effectiveness of managing such injuries conservatively. A 55 year old postman presented to clinic with pain over the instep of his right foot for 2 months with no history of trauma. Clinically the pain was confined to the right first metatarsophalangeal joint with occasional radiation to the calf. X-ray films did not detect any obvious bony injury. MR imaging revealed an ununited avulsion fracture of the base of the 1st metatarsal. The patient was subsequently injected with a mix of steroid and local anesthetic injections at the painful nonunion site under fluoroscopic guidance. Post procedure there was no neurovascular deficit. The patient was reviewed at three months and his pain score and functional outcome improved significantly. Moreover following our intervention, the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire reduced from 33 to 0. At the one year follow up he remained asymptomatic and was discharged. The peroneus longus tendon plays a role in eversion and planter flexion of foot along with providing stabilization to arches of foot. The pattern of injury to this tendon is based on two factors one is the mechanism of insult, if injured, and second is the variation in the insertion pattern of peroneus longus tendon itself. There is no gold standard treatments by which these injuries can be managed. If conservative management fails we must also consider surgery which involves percutaneous fixation, or excision of the non-healed fracture fragment and arthrodesis To conclude isolated avulsion fractures of peroneus longus tendon are rare injuries and it is important to raise awareness of this injury and the diagnostic and management challenges faced. In this case conservative management was a success in treating this injury however it is important to take factors such as patient selection, patient autonomy and clinical judgement into account before making the final decision." @default.
