What is Tendinopathy?

Tendinopathy is an umbrella term for diseases of the tendons – fibrous cords of tissue that hold muscles to bone. Although tendons must be strong and flexible to do their job, they can be injured due to overuse. Tendinopathy broadly refers to three varieties of tendon injury and is often confused with or used synonymously with them. They are as follows:

Tendonitis/tendinitis: Inflammation of a tendon, usually due to acute injury caused by overuse or repetitive strainTendinosis: Chronic tendon injury with little or no inflammation involving micro-tears in the affected tendon. Tendinosis causes long-term pain and is degenerativeParatenonitis: Inflammation of the outer sheath (paratenon) that surrounds certain tendons, such as the Achilles

All of these conditions increase the risk of a more serious tendon tear or rupture. 

Tendons are “mechanical bridges”; they are strong fibrous structures of pearly color that connect the muscles to the bones, and their primary function is of transforming the force generated by muscle contraction into movement. In addition to this, they can absorb external forces to limit muscle overloads and act as temporary energy storage devices. Due to their proprioceptive properties, tendons are also of primary importance in postural adjustments.

 What is Tendinopathy Diagnosis? 

The diagnosis of tendinopathy is based on clinical symptoms and patient history of activity-provoked localized tendon pain and stiffness. A detailed clinical examination confirms a patient-reported history of load-related tendon pain and a physical examination (X-ray, MRI scan, Echography, and Ultrasound) is key to diagnosis.

For those tendons that are easily palpable, tenderness to palpation is often used to confirm the diagnosis. Palpation is also helpful to differentiate between other structures, such as painful fat pad with patellar tendinopathy or bursitis in Achilles tendinopathy, which might be involved in symptom manifestation. In addition, there might be localized swelling in the area of the tenderness. Screening for risk factors is vital to understand the cause of the injury and design the best treatment plan personalized for each patient. Early detection of tendinopathy is paramount in achieving full recovery, particularly in the sporting population.
