What is a peroneal tendon tear?

A peroneal tendon tear is an injury that affects one or both of your peroneal tendons in your foot. You have two peroneal tendons (peroneal brevis and peroneal longus). These strong bands of tissue connect muscles in your lower leg to bones in your foot and help stabilize your foot and ankle. They extend along your outer ankle bone and the side of your foot.
