Is my Peroneal tendon ruptured?


I fractured my left foot in September 2007. Sine then I've been having pain under my ankle where the Peroneal tendon is located. I got a X-Ray yesterday and I should find out what's wrong with it by Monday. I googled around my symptoms and they all lead to ruptured Peroneal tendon.
----------

If that is a partial rupture ----1 degree---Take rest for 1 week.Apply crepe bandage.Avoid stress to ankle joint
2 degree-----Take rest for 15 days in a POP cast.Avoid all movements
3 degree-----Surgical correction of the completely ruptured tendon.  (+ info)

I dislocate my peroneal tendon can I heal with a chiropractor?


The above answer is both correct and incorrect. True, chiropractic will likely not have a profound effect on your injury, but chiropractors, including myself, treat extremities (ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, shoulders, TMJ, etc.), not only spinal injuries. Any joint in the body can be effectively treated by a chiropractic physician.  (+ info)

Have you ever had Peroneal Tendonitus?


I play Field Hockey and this season I developed Peroneal Tendonitus. What could have cause this? It is still swolen underneath my ankle. The season is over and has been for about two or three weeks. Will it go away? I am going to do track in the spring, what should I do if it comes back and what are the chances of it coming back if in fact it has left. It is still swollen, what does that mean? It doesn't hurt when I walk anymore though.
----------

How does peroneal tendonitis occur? Excessive pronation of the foot places stress on the peroneal tendon by causing the tendon to have to work to hard to provide foot stability. Foot stability occurs when the mid foot is "locked up" during the push-off phase of gait. The cuboid and other midfoot bones will be "unlocked" if pronation of the foot continues as the foot is pushing off. As the foot over-pronates, the tendon is over-stretched, resulting in inflammation and localized sharp pain.  (+ info)

ok should i see a docotor if i think i have peroneal tendonitis?


ok i am on my second day- the pain is not as bad but still there- almost the same as yesterday
----------

Yes you definitely should. Talk to your general practitioner about it and see what they think. If they think you are right they'll most likely refer you to an orthopedic surgeon who will further evaluate your condition and decide on a treatment plan.

Hope this helps. :-)  (+ info)

how long does a peroneal muscle/tendon injury take to heal?


IF it heals at all, it will take up to 3 months. Usually once the tendon has slipped out of the peroneal groove, surgery is necesseary to fix it  (+ info)

Peroneal Tendon Subluxation?


I have a peroneal tendon subluxation in my right ankle and have been put into a cast, does anyone with experience or expertise know how long I will have to be on crutches/ in a cast?

Thank you!
I did not have surgery on it
----------

Did you have surgery prior to the cast? I'm just asking because it is known that only 50% of these cases are cured by non-surgical methods, hopefully you're in that 50%. You'll be in the cast about 4-6 weeks. Everybody heals differently but that is the standard norm. After that your doctor will assess your ankle to determine how well it has healed. He might then possibly refer you for physical therapy. Again, how much strength and use you get back into the ankle is case specific. If there is no improvement after a set amount of time, then the chances are you will need surgery. But like all doctors, they prefer to try the least invasive method first and hopefully that will work for you :)  (+ info)

Peroneal nerve (at outside of knee) grafting - info please?


My partner severed his left peroneal nerve in an accident in July 06. Consultant has suggested grafting. Can't find useful info on pros/cons/expected outcomes/procedures (or good general info) of this op/ops and so wondered if a medical person (or someone with experience) could help me please? The info I have found has suggested that grafting may not be particularly successful.

At the moment my partner has a dropped foot and is recovering from all knee ligaments being destroyed in the accident (now the LCL has been repaired, the ACL/PCL will be reconstructed after christmas).Many thanks.

Please state if you are a medical professional etc.
----------

i would consult another doctor like yesterday esoecially a specialist!!
i know about ligaments they can take up to a year to heal!!
do not thing about grafting because it will not be permanent.
the only thing that will work for this type of nerve problem would be surgery where they cut out the bad part and stitch the 2 good parts together.[end to end anastomosis] this will last permanent and will have a real good effect on his overall appearance and his stride. plus he will feel a lot better
but it will take a little time to heal. about 3 to 6 weeks.
