Stenosing peroneal tenosynovitis is one of the rather common causes of pain and disability following calcaneal fracture. In practice, however, attention is focused on fracture healing and the development of subtalar degenerative arthritis, and impingement or adhesion of the peroneal tendons within their sheaths due to bony protrusion or distorted anatomy resulting in disability and pain on weight bearing is too frequently overlooked. We diagnosed and treated four cases of stenosing peroneal tenosynovitis, three of which were associates with subtalar arthritis, in a relative short period of time. We proposed that orthopaedists treating calcaneal fractures be aware of this entity as distinct causes of pain.
