- Peroneus brevis tenosynovitis is a rare condition causing lateral foot pain and ambulation difficulties.
- Hypertrophied peroneal tubercle size and patient comorbidities influence clinical outcomes and treatment decisions.
- Two cases are compared: a middle-aged man with a large tubercle (10mm) and minimal comorbidities vs. an older woman with a smaller tubercle (5mm) but significant comorbidities (rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue disorder).
- MRI is crucial for diagnosing tendon pathology, assessing tubercle size, inflammation, and guiding treatment (conservative vs. surgical).
- Individualized treatment approaches are essential, considering both anatomical and systemic factors.
