DX - Sinus tarsi impingement & chronic tenosynovitis of peroneal tendons

Gains access to sinus tarsi and performs broad debridement of thickened scar tissue and chronic torn tissues. The peroneal sheath was bloated, thick and stretched out. Opened the retinaculum and there was a large egress of tissue and chronic large scale thickening of chronic tenosynovitis. The tenosynovitis was debrided as well as a low-lying peroneal brevis muscle. Relocated the peroneal tendons and performed a peroneal retinaculum reconstruction.

Any help is appreciated

I really want to tell you to look at 27675...but it seems this op report is summarized ?

What is he saying the procedure performed is ? you only put Dx. local debridement is always included in major procedure...so if he is "repairing" peroneal tendons...all the local debridement would be included with that.
