Abstract
The peroneus longus graft has gained much attention in recent years as a reliable autograft for primary ACL surgery. Critics have voiced concerns related to its impact on ankle biomechanics. The current review aims to synthesize the available literature on ankle biomechanics after peroneus harvest. The quantum of evidence available shows that PL harvest does not significantly impact ankle eversion or plantarflexion strength. Its impact on gait needs to be studied more deeply before any significant conclusions can be drawn.
