Learn the Peroneal Tendon Debridement surgical technique with step by step instructions on OrthOracle. Our e-learning platform contains high resolution images and a certified CME of the Peroneal Tendon Debridement surgical procedure.

A straightforward surgical technique with a high success rate which is indicated if conservative management of the degenerate tendon fails.

It is not clearly defined what percentage involvement of the tendon is better treated with either tendon transfer or allograft  so a debridement and repair can be used as primary surgical management for all but the severest of cases.

Patients may in most cases commence light weight-bearing in a post-operative boot from after 2 weeks post-operatively and return to most normal daily function after 3 months.
