Your peroneal tendonitis is most likely to heal if you get appropriate treatment for it with proper footwear or possibly a short trial of an ankle boot, and physical therapy. If it does turn out that your peroneal tendons are torn and subluxating, and physical therapy and the ankle boot hasn’t helped you, then you may need surgery to repair the tendons and possibly deepen the groove they sit in.

Tendon repair: What to expect
S86. 312A - Strain of muscle(s) and tendon(s) of peroneal muscle group at lower leg level, left leg [initial encounter] | ICD-10-CM.
A peroneal tendon injury is a painful tear or recurrent subluxation (dislocation) of the peroneal tendons, which attach the muscles on the outside of your calf to your foot bone. The peroneals are prone to injury as the ankle turns or rolls.
Coding For Ruptered Peroneal Tendon peroneal tendon. 27658; for secondary repair, report CPT 27659.
Abstract. Tears of the peroneus brevis tendon may cause ankle pain, swelling, and instability. Supportive therapy with ankle bracing and analgesics is the mainstay of therapy, but surgical repair is often required in patients with ongoing symptoms.
Symptoms of peroneal tendon injuries can include pain and swelling, weakness in the foot or ankle, warmth to the touch, and a popping sound at the time of injury. Many patients do not need surgical treatment for peroneal tendon injuries.
Options include:Immobilization. A cast or splint may be used to keep the foot and ankle from moving and allow the injury to heal.Medications. Oral or injected anti-inflammatory drugs may help relieve pain and inflammation.Physical therapy. ... Bracing.
For example, CPT 28740 is for fusion of a single midtarsal or tarsometatarsal joint. There is also CPT 28730 for fusion of multiple (or transverse) midtarsal or tarsometatarsal joints.
The pathophysiologic mechanism is subclinical, or overt, subluxation of the tendon over the posterolateral edge of the fibula. This produces multiple longitudinal splits. Treatment is primarily surgical and must address both the split tendon and the subluxation that caused it.
Recovery. Recovery from peroneal tendonitis/tear will depend on the extent of your injury and type of treatment you receive. With minor injuries that are treated non-operatively, athletes usually recover in four to six weeks.
A tear in the lateral PBT may occur after the superior peroneal retinaculum is torn when the ankle is everted during trauma. As the split progresses, the tendon is compressed between the lateral ridge of the malleolus and the peroneus longus tendon.
If the tendon is torn then it can be repaired with sutures. If the cause is degeneration and swelling then the the pathological tissue is simply excised. If the tendon is unstable then in most cases the problem can be rectified by repairing the superior peroneal retinaculum, or SPR.
Answer-peroneals are considered "flexors" or evertors, the AMA recently confimed to her, after consulting with a CPT advisor from the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. Of the peroneal tendons, only the peroneus tertius tendon has "extensor" capability.
Ligaments, on the other hand, connect bone-to-bone. The vast majority of peroneal tendinosis will heal without surgery. This is because it is an overuse injury and can heal with rest. If there is significant pain, a CAM Walker boot for several weeks is a good idea.
Recovery. Recovery from peroneal tendonitis/tear will depend on the extent of your injury and type of treatment you receive. With minor injuries that are treated non-operatively, athletes usually recover in four to six weeks.
Repairing your peroneal tendons usually requires open surgery, but many patients leave on the same day after surgery.
Peroneal tendinitis generally takes 6-8 weeks to improve and early activity on a healing tendon can result in a set back in recovery. Non-compliance can double the recovery time and can be very frustrating for patients. Early and aggressive conservative treatment is recommended to prevent further tendon injury.
