A member asked:
Mri is not showing the tear in my peroneal brevis so my specialist wants to do an exploratory surgery to find the problem. is this a good idea?

Exploratory surgery: For a possible tendon tear sounds sketchy. An MRI should show a tear that is significant enough to warrant surgery. If your symptoms aren't too bad, go with rest, taping/support, and PT.
