Adolescent Peroneal Subluxations

Hi, anybody out there in the Podiatry world have any idea to treat peroneal subluxations without surgical intervention?
This 16 year old patient has suffered from this chronic condition for over 8 years and both the GP and Orthopod are happy for him to wait to see if he 'Grows out' of it! The condition is causing him a great deal of pain when it occurs but he is able to relocate the tendon back behind the malleoli with ease. It can occur both weight and non-weight bearing.
Both him and his mother are concerned now as he will be soon starting to learn to drive, and what happens if they sublux during a lesson as the pain for a split second is very severe!
I thought initially of a Horse shoe brace to reinforce and support but I thought i'd throw the problem into the Arena to see if you guys have any other suggestions or if a brace for this condition exists?
Thank you
