What Are Peroneal Tendon Injuries?
The peroneal tendons run along the outside of the ankle and help stabilize the foot during walking and activity. These tendons can become inflamed (tendinitis) or develop partial or complete tears due to overuse or injury.
Patients often experience pain along the outer ankle, especially with activity, along with swelling or a feeling of instability. Symptoms may worsen over time if the tendon becomes weakened or damaged.
Peroneal tendon injuries are commonly associated with ankle sprains, repetitive stress, or abnormal foot mechanics. Without treatment, the condition can lead to chronic pain and instability.
