    Re: Peroneal tendon subluxation, should I do surgery?

    Just supporting physiobob's statement, if it is asymptomatic, surgery is not indicated. You may just as likely have symptoms post surgery due to the nature of surgery itself, leaving you in a worse position!

    I would assume an ortho specialist will likely reject surgery in this case anyway. I have seen multiple asymptomatic peroneal subluxations following repeat ankle sprains in basketball players and rugby players who don't seem to be too affected by it in the long term.

    Re: Peroneal tendon subluxation, should I do surgery?

    Thanks for you answers.

    Left ankle doesn't snap. For the record I'm currently not doing mma but I will start this summer. At the moment I'm not sporting very much actually

    My right ankle snaps when I rotate my foot. I made a video so you can see it (sorry for the crappy quality, I hope you can see the snapping):



    Is it possible that the luxation just gets stable, or is it always a downhill ride? From what I hear on the internets it only gets worse over time. Do I have extra risk of tearing/damaging something when I don't do surgury?

    I appreciate your answers!
