What is the difference between foot drop due to sciatic nerve injury and common peroneal nerve injury?
no difference except for the sensory supply. if you damage your sciatic nerve, the sensory and muscle supply above the knee also lost as the sciatic nerve is damage. This is because common peroneal nerve is the brach of sciatic and it is at level of your knee. Only muscle and sensory below the knee level will be affected if you damage the common peroneal nerve. However the condition of foot drop would be the same

Absolutely, the Achilles is only the main injury or the most serious injury, but you also got lots of other tendon and muscle tears and pulls all over the foot and ankle area when your Achilles went out. If the Achilles is damaged, it will probably swell at times and that is bound to cause discomfort to the area including the peroneal tendon.

How do you get peroneal tendonitis?
Peroneal tendon problems mostly occur where the tendons glide within the pulley behind the lateral malleolus. Their movement can cause irritation of the lining of the tendons. This condition is called tenosynovitis. The irritation can also occur after an ankle injury, such as a blow to the outside of the ankle or an ankle sprain. Repetitive ankle motions in sports, such as running and jumping, can lead to wear and tear on the tendons inside the groove. A high arch puts extra tension on the peroneal tendons within the groove and has also been found to cause peroneal tendon problems.
