Harvesting the Full Thickness Peroneus Longus Tendon Is Not Associated With Structural Foot Impairments: A 12- to 23-Year Follow-up Study
This study demonstrated good to excellent long-term patient-reported outcomes and negligible radiographic changes after harvesting the full thickness PLT compared with the contralateral side. These long-term data strongly support PLT harvesting as an alternative graft choice and suggest that this method does not alter the natural history of foot and ankle structures.
