Question
How to treat non-healing wounds caused by peroneal tendonitis?
Answer
The peroneal sheath plays an important role in the process of bone healing. After a fracture, the peroneal sheath and its blood vessels may dilate, become congested, and swell. Sometimes, there may also be subperiosteal damage, which can trigger the body’s response to the injury, including blood clot organization, peroneal sheath hyperplasia, and other inflammatory processes. These can all affect the healing of the fracture. Therefore, for this case, the current focus of treatment should be on resolving peroneal tendinitis. For patients with signs of infection, anti-infection treatment should be conducted, rest should be maintained, vigorous exercise should be avoided, and regional anti-inflammatory pain relief measures should be taken.
