Peroneal Tendon Repair
Peroneal Tendon Repair Surgery in Hawaii
Peroneal tendon repair is performed to treat partial or focal tears of the peroneal tendons along the outside of the ankle. These tendons are essential for ankle stability and balance, particularly on uneven ground.
Surgery is typically recommended when pain, swelling, or instability persist despite appropriate non-surgical treatment.
How Surgery Is Performed
Peroneal tendon repair involves identifying the damaged portion of the tendon, removing unhealthy tissue, and repairing the tendon to restore its normal shape and strength. Associated pathology such as tendon subluxation or instability may be addressed concurrently.
Goals of surgery include:
Relieving pain caused by tendon tearing
Restoring tendon continuity and strength
Improving ankle stability
Preventing progression of tendon damage
Recovery After Surgery
Recovery focuses on protecting the repair while restoring strength and function.
Typical recovery progression includes:
Initial immobilization with non–weight bearing or protected weight bearing
Gradual progression to full weight bearing as healing allows
Physical therapy focused on strength, balance, and ankle stability
Progressive return to daily activities and sport
Risks and Considerations
Risks include infection, stiffness, recurrent tearing, nerve irritation, or persistent symptoms. Adherence to postoperative restrictions is critical for optimal healing.
