What Is Peroneal Tendinopathy
The Peroneals are a group of three muscles originating from the outside of your lower leg and connect to the outside of the foot.
The condition affects either the insertion or mid-portion of one or more Peroneal muscle tendons. It is caused by continual, repetitive stress, which leads to micro trauma of the tendon. This results in degeneration, inflammation, and sometimes rupture. It is important to treat this condition in the early stages (acute) as late stages (chronic) can lead to permanent damage and/or rupture.
