Peroneal Tendonitis
Pain to the outside region of the foot and ankle following the course of the peroneal tendons. Usually associated with previous ankle sprain or a person with a high arch.
Symptoms
• Pain to the outside region of the foot and ankle with initial weight bearing activity
• Swelling oftentimes noted to the outside region of the heel bone
• Possible change in the heel position if tearing of the peroneal tendons has occurred related to previous ankle injury
Radiology
• Regular x-ray usually are not of benefit to the diagnosis unless the heel bone position is turned in related to tearing of the peroneus brevis tendon
• MRI will show suspected tearing to both of the peroneal tendons
Treatment
• Shoe with wide base of support with outsole wide to decrease the potential tendency to have the heel bone invert or turn in
• Possible use of over the counter or custom orthotic with additional padding to decrease the tendency of the heel bone invert or turn in
• Ice twice daily
• Non Steroidal anti-inflammatory medications
• Possible use of CAM boot to decrease the stress through the peroneal tendons
