A member asked:
I tore my peroneal brevis tendon. i think it happened in pt after care from an ankle surgery. is this possible?

Hmmm: Peroneal tendons are prone to tear.They resist inversion of the foot and are used every step you take. They often become inflamed and suffer from tears (usually longitudinal). A peroneal tendon tear and its relationship to surgery and PT depends entirely of the condition requiring the surgery and and the surgery performed.

Yes it is.: Unfortunately, physical therapy can be aggressive at times and an injury can occur. In 27 years of practice I have similar injuries occur twice, so it is rare.
