Modified bone block procedure with periosteal augmentation for peroneal tendon dislocation: a retrospective case series.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPeroneal tendon dislocation is an uncommon but functionally limiting condition frequently affecting physically active individuals. The standard surgical treatment consists of superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) repair, with or without fibular groove deepening. However, surgical failure may occur in selected patients with severe SPR deficiency, in whom isolated soft-tissue reconstruction may not provide sufficient mechanical stability. In this context, we therefore developed a modified bone block procedure combined with periosteal augmentation.
methodsA retrospective case series was conducted including patients with peroneal tendon dislocation who underwent surgical treatment between 2005 and 2025. The procedure consisted of posterior translation and fixation of a contoured fibular bone block based on a modified DuVries osteotomy, combined with reconstruction using an inverted periosteal flap. Clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at final follow-up using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Short Form-12 (SF-12), visual analogue scale (VAS), Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), Tegner activity score, and return-to-activity and return-to-sport rates.
resultsDuring the study period, 12 patients underwent surgical treatment for peroneal tendon dislocation. One patient was lost to follow-up, leaving 11 patients in the final cohort. Significant improvements were observed in AOFAS (74.4 ± 15.2 to 89.7 ± 12.7, p = .002), SF-12 (89.1 ± 17.6 to 105.8 ± 9.7, p = .004), VAS (4.1 ± 3.4 to 1.5 ± 2.7, p = .004), MOXFQ scores (35.5 ± 25.4 to 9.7 ± 13.9, p = .003) and Tegner score (1.2 ± 0.6 to 3.4 ± 1.5, p < .001) at a mean follow-up of 68.2 months. All patients returned to daily activities, and those who participated in sports preoperatively resumed sports. No recurrence occurred. One patient experienced transient sural nerve irritation that resolved without intervention.
conclusionThe modified bone block procedure with periosteal augmentation was associated with generally favorable clinical and functional outcomes in this study. This technique may represent a potential surgical option for selected patients with peroneal tendon dislocation, particularly in cases with severe superior peroneal retinaculum insufficiency in which direct SPR repair is not feasible.
