Tendon injuries about the ankle resulting from skiing.
In essence there are three afflictions about the ankle that result from skiing: rupture of the Achilles tendon, Achilles tendinitis, and dislocation of the peroneal tendon. The cause of Achilles tendinitis and Achilles tendon rupture is, in fact, pressure within the fascial compartment of the Achilles tendon, which is caused by a swollen distal soleus muscle, occluding the circulation, and thereby producing avascular necrosis with subsequent tendinitis yielding to rupture. Four types of peroneal tendon dislocations and related problems are presented.
