BICIPETAL TENODESIS FOR ANTERIOR SUBLUXATION OF THE SUPERIOR TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT

S. H. White, DM, FRCS, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic & District Hospital NHS Trust, Oswestry, Shropshire SY10 7AG, UK.

A technique for stabilising the superior tibiofibular joint using an autogenous biceps graft passed through a tibial tunnel is described. The common peroneal nerve should be decompressed and the lateral inferior genicular artery protected. The technique proved to be safe and effective in two patients who were followed for at least two years.
