Photographs illustrating the articular branch ((a) black arrow) to the superior tibiofibular joint ((b) white arrow). Transection of this branch after ligation alongside disarticulation of the superior TF joint is essential to prevent recurrence. In (a), deep peroneal nerve (black asterisk) and the peroneus longus muscle (white asterisk) can also be recognized. The peroneus longus was dissected to allow better view of the deep and superficial peroneal nerves, as well as the peroneal articular branch.
