Peroneal Tendonitis/Tear - Foot Scientific

Peroneal Tendons run behind your outer ankle bone and link the bones in your foot’s arch to your lower leg muscles. They help you balance by stabilizing your arch when you walk. These tendons help to stabilize and allow you to move your ankle. Peroneal Tendonitis occurs when your Peroneal Tendons are injured, stretched out, or become loose when you sprain or roll your ankle. A Peroneal Tear occurs when that tendon breaks or rips from an injury.

What causes Peroneal Tendonitis? 

The tearing of your Peroneal Tendon can happen over time, especially if you’re prone to ANKLE SPRAINS. The Ankle Sprains loosen and stretch out the Peroneal Tendons which then become weak and frayed over time causing small tears and gaps in your tendon.
