5 choices with split tear in the peroneus brevis tendon

Today I was talking with a runner who has been diagnosed with a longitudinal split of the peroneus brevis tendon. The concern with this kind of tear in the peroneal tendon is that if you can't get it to calm down, it can only get worse.

This runner wanted to know the details of all the different treatment options when a runner gets diagnosed with a longitudinal split of the peroneus brevis tendon. Today on the Doc on the Run podcast, we're talking about the 5 choices runners have when there is a split or tear in the peroneus brevis tendon.
