Snapping peroneal tendon can cause long term problem if not treated. The usual treatment is by surgery. The tendon is usually put back in place and the fascia covering it is repaired so that it does not dislocate in movement. Recovery time depends on your condition of the tendon and its repair. It is best decided by your operating surgeon. You will need to stay away from heavy activities and sports for atleast 2-3 months. However you should be able to attend class after 2 weeks.
