What Problems Affect Ankle Tendons?
Ankle tendon problems often result from injury, though the tendons can weaken over time and cause problems as well. The most common problems that affect ankle tendons are inflammation, tears, and ruptures. The Achilles tendon, which connects the heel and calf muscle; the peroneal tendons along the outside of the lower leg; and the posterior tibial tendon attached to the back of the shin bone are those most commonly affected by ankle injury and other problems.
