Peroneal Tendon Subluxation
Do you feel a snapping or popping sensation on the outer side of your ankle while walking or turning your foot? Does the ankle feel unstable during sports or on uneven ground? You may be experiencing Peroneal Tendon Subluxation, a condition often mistaken for a simple ankle sprain.
What Is Peroneal Tendon Subluxation?
The peroneal tendons run behind the outer ankle bone. When the supporting retinaculum becomes weak or injured, these tendons slip out of their groove, causing pain, snapping, and instability.
