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 ...
Achilles tendinitis, also known as Achilles tendinopathy, is soreness of the Achilles tendon. It is accompanied by alterations in the tendon's structure and mechanical properties. [ 2 ] The most common symptoms are pain and swelling around the back of the ankle . [ 1 ]
Calcific tendinitis is a common condition where deposits of calcium phosphate form in a tendon, sometimes causing pain at the affected site. Deposits can occur in several places in the body, but are by far most common in the rotator cuff of the shoulder.
De Quervain tendinopathy affects the tendons of these muscles as they pass from the forearm into the hand via a fibro-osseous tunnel (the first dorsal compartment). Evaluation of histopathological specimens shows a thickening and myxoid degeneration consistent with a chronic degenerative process, as opposed to inflammation or injury. [ 17 ]
Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] This can result in pain, weakness, and loss of movement at the ...
Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a process of senescence. The pathophysiology is mucoid degeneration. [4] Most people develop rotator cuff tendinopathy within their lifetime. [5] 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.
Types of tendinopathy include: [38] Tendinosis: non-inflammatory injury to the tendon at the cellular level. The degradation is caused by damage to collagen, cells, and the vascular components of the tendon, and is known to lead to rupture. [39]
Patellar tendonitis is common in athletes who participate in activities that include a lot of jumping, changing directions, or running. Risk factors for patellar tendonitis are low ankle dorsiflexion (stiff ankles) and ankle sprains, [10] [11] weak gluteal muscles, and muscle tightness, particularly in the calves, quadriceps muscle, and ...
