Peroneal tendon surgery
PERONEAL TENDON REPAIR
Peroneal tendons keep your ankles steady; if they rupture and tear, we can carry out surgery to repair or reconstruct a dislocated peroneal tendon
What are peroneal tendons?
Peroneal tendons in your lower legs keep your ankles steady while you run, walk and play sport.
Sometimes, they can rupture and tear because of injury or gradually over time. When this happens, our orthopaedic surgeons can carry out peroneal tendon surgery.
Need to know
You'll receive a general anaesthetic before your surgery. Your consultant will then make several keyhole-size cuts to gain access to the ruptured tendons. They'll then use a stitching technique to repair the tendons before closing the wound.
Your consultant will explain the procedure to you during a pre-surgery screening. They'll also answer any questions you might have and explain any risks and side effects. It's likely you'll be asked to limit your food or drink in the hours leading up to your procedure.
After your surgery, your foot may be immobilised using a walking (aircast) brace. Your consultant or specialist nurse will explain how to care for this and when it can be removed. They'll also let you know if you need to arrange a follow-up appointment.
