"Fibularis longus tendon tears can be partial or complete, longitudinal or transverse, acute or chronic, and might be associated with tendon instability."
"A fibularis longus tendon tear is a discontinuity (longitudinal or transverse) in the tendon morphology. They can be longitudinal or transverse, partial or complete and can be associated with tendon instability 1-5."
"Surgical treatment can be considered in case of conservative treatment failure and/or symptomatic tendon ruptures 7. This might comprise excision, debridement and tubularization in partial tears where >50% of the tendon is intact or direct repair in the setting of an acute tendon rupture. If direct repair is not possible tenodesis between fibularis longus and fibularis brevis tendons is an option, if one of the tendons is torn and the other is still functional, tendon transfer or tendon grafts can be done in settings where both tendons are torn and no longer functional 1-4,7."
