Peroneal Tendon Reconstruction

Peroneal Tendon Reconstruction Surgery in Hawaii

Peroneal tendon reconstruction is used for severe, chronic, or irreparable tendon damage when primary repair alone is insufficient. This may include long-standing tears, degeneration, or prior failed surgery.

How Surgery Is Performed

Reconstruction may involve tendon transfer, graft augmentation, or reconstruction using nearby tendons to restore function and stability. The specific technique is tailored to tendon quality and extent of damage.

Goals of surgery include:

  • Restoring functional tendon strength

  • Improving lateral ankle stability

  • Relieving chronic pain

  • Preventing recurrent injury

Recovery After Surgery

Recovery is typically more prolonged than primary repair.

Typical recovery progression includes:

  • Initial immobilization with non–weight bearing

  • Gradual transition to protected and then full weight bearing

  • Physical therapy focused on strength, balance, and gait mechanics

  • Gradual return to higher-level activity over several months

Risks and Considerations

Risks include weakness, stiffness, nerve irritation, incomplete functional recovery, or need for continued bracing.
