RESUMEN
The peroneal tendons play a critical role in stabilizing the foot and ankle especially in athletes with high demands on lateral ankle strength. A complete understanding of the anatomy of the lateral ankle as well as a careful physical examination is imperative to diagnosing peroneal pathology, which is commonly misdiagnosed and can lead to chronic pain and inability to perform high level sport. Although low-demand patients do well with a conservative approach, most high-demand athletes will benefit from surgical intervention.
