Peroneal disease could be genetic. It could also be from paget disease of the bone. It could be from a condition called dupuytrent contracture. It's when you have a knot or scar tissue that is in your palm and it tends to bend your fingers and sometimes you can't pull it out, and sometimes you can and you hear a little click when you try to extend it out. And it's also associated with autoimmune like I talk about. And in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. It also can be present in patient that has high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking.
