I've had 2 experiences with skiers over the years with both National teams with this same occurrence or injury and we tried everything and both cases ended up on the operating table. The groove or notch the tendon rides in is too shallow and that is why the tendon can move or slide out and over the ankle bone. The surgery requires deepening the groove---that's what was done and what I remember.
