ST and G tendons were folded to form a single quadruple graft, presenting 7.0 mm of diameter and 11 cm of length (Figure 1).
The incision started 3 cm proximal to the most distal point of the lateral malleolus and was extended 3 cm proximally.

The incision started 3 cm proximal to the most distal point of the lateral malleolus (Figure 2).
The peroneus longus was identified and distinguished from the peroneus brevis.

The subcutaneous tissue was separated, and the PL was identified and isolated with the aid of a hemostatic forceps (mosquito or Kelly) after it was distinguished from the peroneus brevis (Figure 3).
Both peroneal tendons were brought together in the most distal region of the incision.

Both peroneal tendons were then brought together in the most distal region of the incision using single sutures with No. 1-0 Vicryl thread (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) (Figure 4).
The peroneus longus graft was incorporated into the ST+G grafts forming a sixfold graft with 9.0 mm of diameter.
