Ankle sprains in tennis players can cause peroneal tendon injuries. Prompt diagnosis and conservative treatment, including proprioception training, can lead to full recovery for athletes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Tennis Injuries

Background:

  • Ankle sprains represent 20-25% of all tennis injuries.
  • Identifying the precise cause of ankle sprains is crucial for effective management in athletes.

Observation:

  • A professional tennis player sustained an ankle sprain with a partial tear of the long peroneal tendon.
  • Diagnostic methods included physical examination, X-ray, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Findings:

  • Conservative treatment, utilizing a soft cast and proprioception training, resulted in complete recovery.
  • Peroneal tendon disorders should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ankle sprains in professional athletes.

Implications:
