Case Discussion
Peroneal tendinosis is an irritation to the tendons that move in a groove, posterior to bony prominence on the lateral aspect of the ankle. The tendons involved are the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis. The tendinosis usually occurs because these tendons are subject to excessive repetitive forces during standing and walking.
