Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
Infectious tenosynovitis is the infection of closed synovial sheaths in the flexor tendons of the fingers. It is usually caused by trauma, but bacteria can spread from other sites of the body. Although tenosynovitis usually affects the flexor tendon of the fingers, the disease can also affect the extensor tendons occasionally. [5]
Traditionally, people have speculated that tennis elbow is a type of repetitive strain injury resulting from tendon overuse and failed healing of the tendon, but there is no evidence of injury or repair, and misinterpretation of painful activities as a source of damage is common.

Finkelstein's test is one way to determine if there is tenosynovitis in the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons of the wrist. These two tendons belong to the first dorsal compartment. First dorsal compartment: abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.
Localized/nodular TGCT (L-TGCT), sometimes referred to as “giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath”; [3]: 100 is a common tumor that presents as a slow-growing, encapsulated, localized and limited bump, most frequently in the fingers.
Knee pain is more common among people working in the cold than in those in normal temperature. [21] Cold-induced knee pain may also be due to tenosynovitis of the tendons around the knee, in which cold exposure has a specific role, either as a causative or a contributing factor. [21]
A rheumatologist will aim to diagnose the cause of the patient’s pain by first determining whether it is inside the joint itself, meaning true synovitis, or if it is actually caused by an inflammation of the tendons, referred to as tendonitis. Imaging, such as an MRI or musculoskeletal ultrasound is often required to make a firm diagnosis.
Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, is an overuse injury of the tendon that straightens the knee. [1] Symptoms include pain in the front of the knee. [1] Typically the pain and tenderness is at the lower part of the kneecap, though the upper part may also be affected. [2] Generally there is no pain when the person is at rest. [2]
