Subluxing Peroneal Tendons

Care for Unstable Ankle Tendons

Targeted Treatment to Restore Stability and Prevent Reinjury

Subluxing peroneal tendons occur when the tendons along the outside of the ankle slip out of their normal position. This instability often results from trauma, ankle sprains, or shallow tendon grooves. Symptoms can include snapping sensations, pain along the outer ankle, swelling, and difficulty with high-impact or side-to-side movements.

Your evaluation includes a detailed physical exam and imaging to assess tendon positioning, ligament support, and any accompanying injury. Treatment may include bracing, activity modification, physical therapy to improve strength and stability, or immobilization to allow tissues to heal. If instability persists or the supporting structures are damaged, surgical repair may be recommended to secure the tendons and restore proper alignment.

Our goal is to relieve pain, improve ankle stability, and reduce the risk of future tendon displacement. With personalized treatment and careful monitoring, we support a strong return to activity and long-term ankle health.
