Guide To Treating Peroneal Tendonitis

Surgical Tendon Release Or Repair

For cases involving a moderate to serious tendon injury, surgical tendon release or repair may be an option. The main reason surgery is prescribed is to help repair and treat tears to the peroneal tendon. Surgeons are also capable of repairing the tissues responsible for holding the peroneal tendons in place if they've become injured. Surgery for peroneal tendonitis is typically only recommended for non-serious tears after four to six weeks of more conservative treatment methods haven't yielded results. Most peroneal tendon repair surgeries are open surgical procedures that involve incisions. Depending on how complex the surgery is, patients may still be able to leave the day they have the surgery.
