Recovery after peroneal tendon surgery with different casts
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares different immobilization methods after surgery for peroneal tendon or nearby ligament tears. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and patient-reported outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had surgery for a tear of the peroneal tendon and/or nearby ligaments and/or the retinaculum (a band that holds tendons in place).
- You have not needed extensive surgery like a heel bone realignment.
- You have not had any previous surgery in the same area.
- You have no prior injury to your other foot or leg that affects its function.
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease (a disease affecting nerves and muscles).
- You can understand and communicate in the language of the study (likely Swedish or English).
- You are 18 years or older.

This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
This trial looks at how well people do after an Achilles tendon rupture when they are treated without surgery. It may help improve recovery guidance for others by comparing outcomes based on how care is followed.
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
This study compares two ways of treating a type of foot injury called a Chopart injury. Half the people will wear a cast for 6 weeks, and the other half will start moving their foot sooner with a special boot and exercises, to see which helps people recover better.
This study compares two types of surgery to repair a large Achilles tendon gap. One method moves a nearby tendon to help, the other adds extra support from the calf muscle.
This study examines how well the ankle and lower leg recover after ACL reconstruction when the graft is taken from the peroneus longus tendon. By participating, you help doctors learn how this procedure affects ankle strength and function, which may improve future care.
