Peroneal tendonitis typically results in pain on the outside of the foot below and behind the anklebone. Symptoms also include stiffness, swelling, or a burning sensation around the back of the ankle and outside edge of the foot. KT Tape can be a great help with pain and speeding the healing process by increasing circulation, providing stability, and relieving the pressure on this inflamed and painful tendon*.
Typical treatment of peroneal tendonitis is accomplished with some simple steps, including:
Subluxation (or dislocation) of the peroneal tendons is a disorder involving an elongation, a tear or an avulsion (separation) of the superior peroneal retinaculum, which is a fibrous band that stabilizes the peroneal tendons.
If you have had a peroneal tendon subluxation, surgery will involve a small incision (minimally invasive surgery) to deepen the area on the fibula where the tendons are positioned. This will help the tendons to stay in place and the retinaculum ligament will also be repaired. Repair of the damaged tendons.
A subluxation is a partial dislocation. When an ankle is subluxed or dislocated, the ligaments are often stretched or torn, and there may be a break in the bone.
Peroneal tendon subluxation typically occurs in athletes with a sudden forceful dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle. This causes rapid contraction of the peroneus longus and brevis muscles, potentially leading to further damage of the superior peroneal retinaculum.
Symptoms include: Sensation of the peroneal tendons moving behind your ankle. Sharp pain around the outside of your ankle when your foot is pointed inwards or when you stand on it and rotate inwards. Tenderness behind the bone on the outside of your ankle.
Many patients with peroneal tendon subluxation will eventually require surgery, especially when symptoms have not been controlled with nonsurgical measures. Retinaculum repair is gaining popularity.
Dislocation is injury to a joint that causes adjoining bones to no longer touch each other. Subluxation is a minor or incomplete dislocation in which the joint surfaces still touch but are not in normal relation to each other.
"Subluxation" is a term used by some chiropractors to describe a spinal vertebra that is out of position in comparison to the other vertebrae, possibly resulting in functional loss and determining where the chiropractor should manipulate the spine.
Extensor tendon subluxation can result from a disruption to the extensor retinacular system and/or the sagittal band at the metacarpophalangeal joint. When conservative treatment is insufficient to correct the subluxation, surgical treatment is necessary and various surgical techniques exist.
Early treatment of a subluxation is critical, since a tendon that continues to sublux (move out of position) is more likely to tear or rupture. Therefore, if you feel the characteristic snapping, see a foot and ankle surgeon immediately.
What does peroneal tendon subluxation feel like? Patients describe a popping or snapping sensation on the outer edge of the ankle. The tendons may even be seen to slip out of place along the lower tip of the fibula. It is common to feel pain and tenderness along the tendons.
You may have numbness in your limbs or difficulty bending or twisting. A subluxation can also cause burning and tingling sensations in your back. Unusual, persistent headaches can signal subluxation as well. Spinal subluxations require chiropractic adjustment to realign the vertebrae.
