1993 William J. Stickel Silver Award. Anatomical considerations of the peroneal tubercle

JR Ruiz, RA Christman and HJ Hillstrom
Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, Philadelphia.

Gross discrepancy and error regarding the identification and location of the peroneal tubercle have been found in the literature. Furthermore, the authors found no evidence of a repeatable measurement technique in applicable descriptions of this osteologic landmark. In accordance with interrater reliability procedures, the authors established repeatability of peroneal tubercle measurements. In conjunction with the instrumentation's accuracy and resolution, the investigators infer reliability for these measurements. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the only one in which interrater reliability was established for the morphometric assessment of the peroneal tubercle and the retrotrochlear eminence. The results also reestablish the correct anatomical presentation of the retrotrochlear eminence and the peroneal tubercle along the lateral surface of the calcaneus.
