The Schilling tendon procedure is a temporary surgical procedure developed by the former Boston Red Sox team physician William Morgan, MD, to stabilize the peroneus brevis tendon so that it is prevented from anterior displacement during ankle eversion. [1] If the peroneal retinaculum is torn, the
The muscle ends in a long tendon, which runs behind the lateral malleolus of the ankle in a groove that it shares with the tendon of the fibularis brevis; the groove is converted into a canal by the superior fibular retinaculum, and the tendons in it are contained in a common mucous sheath. [2] The tendon then extends forward at an angle across ...

Surgical Technique: [3] Incision is made over border of lateral malleolus; peroneal tendon exploration would require a posterolateral longitudinal incision; Surgeons care for peroneal tendons, sural nerve and lesser saphenous vein (which might be ligated), and branches of the superficial peroneal nerve;
An introducer sheath (or simply sheath) is a sheath through which fluids or tools can be introduced (inserted) into a blood vessel. It is a surgical tool consisting of a tube inserted into the body to provide an access point and allow the insertion of other instruments into an artery or vein and a seal to maintain hemostasis.

A tendon sheath is a layer of synovial membrane around a tendon. [1] It permits the tendon to stretch [2] and not adhere to the surrounding fascia. It contains a lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) that allows for smooth motions of the tendon during muscle contraction and joint movements. [3] It has two layers: synovial sheath; fibrous tendon sheath
