Tendonitis Crystal L.

Risks and complications

If left untreated, peroneal tendonitis can progress to a tendon rupture. This occurs if your tendon partially or completely tears. Damaged or weakened tendons can also lead to subluxation, which dislocates the tendons. Ruptures or subluxation can cause:

Intense pain on the outside region of your ankle
Ankle weakness or instability
Sharp, snapping feeling in your tendons

Having an ankle surgery on the affected part comes with some risks, such as:

Infection
Bleeding
Blood clots
Scar tissue formation
Nerve damage
Recurring tendonitis or ankle pain
