Other ways the Achilles tendon can be torn involve sudden direct trauma or damage to the tendon, or sudden use of the Achilles after prolonged periods of inactivity, such as bed rest or leg injury. Some other common tears can happen from intense sports overuse. Twisting or jerking motions can also contribute to injury. [4]
Tendon rupture. Tendon rupture is a condition in which a tendon separates in whole or in part from tissue to which it is attached, or is itself torn or otherwise divided in whole or in part. [1] [2] Examples include: Achilles tendon rupture; Biceps tendon rupture; Anterior cruciate ligament injury; Biceps femoris tendon rupture and Quadriceps ...
As part of rotator cuff tendinopathy, the tendon can thin and develop a defect. This defect is often referred to as a rotator cuff tear. Acute, traumatic rupture of the rotator cuff tendons can also occur, but is less common. Traumatic rupture of the rotator cuff usually involves the tendons of more than one muscle. [6]
Patellar tendon rupture is a tear of the tendon that connects the knee cap (patella) to the tibia. [1] Often there is sudden onset of pain and walking is difficult. [1] In a complete rupture, the ability to extend that knee is decreased. [1] A pop may be felt when it occurs. [2]
A quadriceps tendon rupture is a tear of the tendon that runs from the quadriceps muscle to the top of ... Symptoms are pain and the inability to extend the knee ...
Biceps femoris tendon rupture can occur when the biceps femoris is injured in sports that require explosive bending of the knee as seen in sprinting.If the athlete is fatigued or has not warmed up properly he/she may suffer a hamstring strain/rupture, which is the tearing of the hamstring muscle.
A biceps tendon rupture or bicep tear is a complete or partial rupture of a tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. It can affect any of the three biceps brachii tendons - the proximal tendon of the short head of the muscle belly, the proximal tendon of the long head of the muscle belly, or the distal tendon. The characteristic finding of a biceps ...
An anterior cruciate ligament injury occurs when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is either stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. [1] The most common injury is a complete tear. [1] Symptoms include pain, an audible cracking sound during injury, instability of the knee, and joint swelling. [1]
