ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE PERONEAL TUBERCLE

Gross discrepancy and error regarding the identification and location of the peroneal tubercle have been found in the literature. Furthermor e, 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 repea tability of peroneal tubercle measurements. In conjunction with the in strumentation's accuracy and resolution, the investigators infer relia bility for these measurements. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the only one in which interrater reliability was establi shed for the morphometric assessment of the peroneal tubercle and the retrotrochlear eminence. The results also reestablish the correct anat omical presentation of the retrotrochlear eminence and the peroneal tu bercle along the lateral surface of the calcaneus.
