The peroneus longus is an important muscle in your lower leg. It starts at the top of the fibula before running down the outside of the leg and connecting to the foot with the peroneus longus tendon. Your peroneus longus muscles help you move your ankles, flex your feet, and maintain your balance.
The peroneus longus tendons are held in place near your lateral ankle by the superior peroneal retinaculum, a thick band of tissue. Peroneus longus is a superficial muscle that can easily be seen and palpated.
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.
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.
Peroneus Longus - Podiatry, Orthopedics, & Physical Therapy. The peroneal tendons are two strong tendons that connect the muscles on the outside of the leg to the bones in the foot. They run behind the bone in the ankle called the fibula. When they contract they move the foot down and out.
In human anatomy, the fibularis longus (also known as peroneus longus) is a superficial muscle in the lateral compartment of the leg. It acts to tilt the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body (eversion) and to extend the foot downward away from the body (plantar flexion) at the ankle.
Peroneus longus tear frequently occur in regions of high shear stress, more commonly at the cuboid tunnel, peroneal tubercle and also at the tip of the lateral malleolus2, 3. Peroneal brevis tear is usually found within the retromalleolar sulcus and the tear is associated with high mechanical stress within the area.
The peroneus longus originates from the head and proximal two thirds of the fibula, whereas the peroneus brevis originates from the distal two thirds of the fibula. Both tendons have a musculotendinous portion that courses just below the lateral malleolus.
If you continue to have ankle pain after four to six weeks of conservative treatment, you may become a candidate for surgery to treat your peroneal tendon disorder. Repairing your peroneal tendons usually requires open surgery, but many patients leave on the same day after surgery.
The peroneal tendons are two tendons in the foot that run side-by-side behind the outer ankle bone. One peroneal tendon attaches to the outer part of the midfoot, while the other runs under the foot and attaches near the inside of the arch.
The fibular/peroneal muscles are the two muscles of the lateral (fibular, peroneal) compartment of the leg. These muscles are: fibularis longus and fibularis brevis.
Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscle to bone. When they are irritated or inflamed, they become painful, causing tendonitis. The ankle tendons are subject to significant stress and can become ruptured, causing pain and a disability of the foot.
Peroneal tendon inflammation can develop over time with repetitive overuse of the tendons. Or it might happen suddenly due to an acute ankle injury like a sprain. The tendons or the lubricated sheath that surrounds the tendons can swell, making it hard for them to move smoothly.
TreatmentsImmobilization: Stopping the foot and ankle from moving using a boot or support.Medication: Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, can help relieve pain and swelling.Physical therapy: Ice, heat, and ultrasound therapy can reduce pain and swelling.More items...

Peroneal brevis tear is usually found within the retromalleolar sulcus and the tear is associated with high mechanical stress within the area.
Some of the common symptoms include: pain at the back of the ankle, pain that worsens with activity, pain when turning the foot, swelling at the back of the ankle, instability when bearing weight, and an area that is warm to the touch.
