About this listen
They'll call it a lateral ankle sprain. They'll ice it, tape it, and be back four weeks later with the same problem — because a peroneal tendon injury doesn't follow the same rules.
The outer ankle is a crime scene with multiple possible perpetrators. In this episode, we work through all five: the sprain that brought the tendons down with it, the overuse pattern built on cambered roads, the shallow groove that lets the tendon escape with every step, the longitudinal split tear that standard MRI misses, and the high-arched foot that loaded the predisposition until something gave way.
We cover how to map peroneal pain away from ligament pain, the one question most clinicians never ask, why dynamic ultrasound catches what static imaging misses, and how the management pathway splits entirely depending on whether you're dealing with tendinopathy, a tear, or a tendon that's regularly leaving its groove.
This one's for every runner whose ankle sprain never quite resolved.
