Peroneal Tendinopathy

Peroneal tendinopathy is a condition affecting the peroneal tendons, which run along the outside of the ankle and attach to the bones of the foot. These tendons are crucial for stabilizing the ankle and supporting foot movement. Tendinopathy refers to inflammation or degeneration of the tendons, often caused by overuse or repetitive stress.

Key Features of Peroneal Tendinopathy

Location of Pain: Pain is typically felt along the outside of the ankle and lower leg, near the peroneal tendons.
Pain Characteristics: The pain may be sharp, aching, or throbbing, and can worsen with activity or prolonged weight-bearing. Swelling and tenderness around the tendons are common.
Functional Impact: The condition can lead to decreased foot and ankle stability, making activities such as walking, running, or climbing challenging.
