TENDINOPATHIES TERMS Flashcards
inflammation of the tendon and results from micro tears that happen when the musculotendinous unit is acutely overloaded with a tensile force too heavy or too sudden
tendinitis
a degeneration of the tendons collagen in response to chronic overuse
tendinosis
name this classification of tendon
inflammatory in nature with acute and chronic stages
tendonitis
name this classification of tendon
tendon degeneration absence of inflammatory cells hypercellularity neovascularization increased proteoglycans increased type III collagen collagen bundle separation
tendonosis
name this classification of tendon
aka tenosynovitis inflammation of paratenon inflammatory cells present hypervascularity fibrinous exudate in sheath myofibrolblast in wound crepitation
paratenonitis
this is inflammatory in nature
involves cardinal signs of Inf
Inf. cells present
pronounced tears/damage
Itis or Osis
Itis
non-inflammatory in nature
lacks cardinal signs of inflammation
no Inf cells present under microscope
lacks evidence of large scale damage
itis or osis
Osis
inflammation of only the tendinous sheath
paratenonitis
paratenon inflammation with intratendinous degeneration
same as paratenonitis BUT with decreased tendon collagen, fiber disorientation, scattered vascular ingrowth
clinical exam same as paratenonitis but with nodule formation
paratenonitis with tendonosis
intratendonous degeneration with atrophy
non inflammatory collagen degeneration, fiber disorientation, hypocellularity, necrosis and calcifications
nodular appearance, little if any edema
tendinosis
caused by improper ability of tissues to manage load/volume
tendon injuries account for up to 50% of all sport related pathology
tendonopathy and overuse injuries
name this tendon function
regular collagen
minimal vascularity
spindle shaped tenocytes
normal tendon
name this tendon function
disorganized type III collagen
neovascularization/neuronal ingrowth
round tenocytes
abundant ground substance
tendonopathy
name this loading type
bodyweight, jumping, running, cycling
cyclical
name this loading type
weight training
mechanical
