Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the relationship between peroneal tendon dislocation and type of calcaneal fracture by CT. [Methods] A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the data of 421 patients with closed calcaneal fractures treated from June2016 to June 2022. The CT cross-sectional images were reconstructed at 1cm proximal to the level of the ankle joint by using the picture ar-chiving and communication system (PACS). Drawing the best fitting circle to fit the anterolateral curved surface of the fibula, the peronealtendon shadow straddled or crossed the circle was termed as positive the "escape sign" of the tendon. The number of positive cases of pero-neal tendon dislocation in different types of calcaneal fractures was compared. [Results] Of 421 patients with calcaneal fractures, 34 weredescribed or diagnosed in preoperative CT reports accounted for 8.1% , and dislocation of peroneal tendon was mentioned in medical recordin 51 cases (12.1%), while the positive "escape sign" of peroneal tendon was noted in 76 cases by this CT image analysis, with the inci-dence of calcaneal fracture complicated with peroneal tendon dislocation of 18%. Forty two more cases compared with original CT diagnosis(P<0.001), and 15 more cases compared with clinical diagnosis (P=0.021) were found in this study based on "escape sign" as the criterion.Although there were no significant differences in age or gender between the dislocation group and nondislocation groups (P>0.05), the dis-location group had significantly higher ratio of posterior articular surface collapse than the non-dislocation group [collapse/tongue shape,(65/11) vs (256/89), P=0.039]. [Conclusion] Collapse calcaneus fracture is more likely to be associated with peroneal tendon dislocation byusing the "escape sign" on CT cross-section image as the criterion.
