I had surgery a few days ago to reattach my superior peroneal retinaculum after rupturing it bouldering.
It was a slightly unfortunate accident in that the retinaculum was weakened by a rock which rolled onto my foot a few weeks ago whilst walking around barefoot at Porth Ysgo, and it only took a minor twist of the ankle to tear it.
Misfortune aside, this seems to be a fairly uncommon injury, more readily associated with skiers than other sports. I'm wondering if anyone on here has had this op and how they've recovered from it. After a few years of being fairly committed to alpine climbing I'm discovering the delights of bouldering, and would be gutted if the curtain has closed on that one already.
