They may develop due to traumatic ruptures, repetitive strain, or degenerative changes. Loss of function and pain are the most common symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Acute tendon injuries usually occur due to sharp-object trauma or sudden strain. They are common in mobile regions such as the hand, ankle, and shoulder. Diagnosis is made by clinical examination, and in some cases ultrasound or MRI imaging may be required.<\/p>\n<p>Inflammatory tendon disorders such as tendinitis and tenosynovitis are chronic conditions, especially related to repetitive movements. The elbow, shoulder, and wrist are common sites where such conditions are frequently seen. Rest, medication, and physical therapy are the main approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Tendon surgery is preferred in full-thickness tears and cases that do not respond to conservative treatments. Tendon ends are joined using microsurgical techniques. Postoperative rehabilitation is vital for the tendon to regain its former function.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Things You Should Know<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Definition<\/td>\n<td>Tendons are connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. Their injuries or diseases cause limitations in movement functions and pain.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tendon Injuries<\/td>\n<td>They may occur due to laceration by a sharp object, sudden strains (for example sports injuries), direct trauma, or excessive stretching.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Commonly Injured Tendons<\/td>\n<td>Achilles tendon, finger flexor and extensor tendons, patellar tendon, rotator cuff tendons (shoulder), biceps tendon.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tendon Diseases<\/td>\n<td>Tendinitis (inflammation), tendinosis (degeneration), tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath), calcific tendinitis; tendinopathy is the general term.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Symptoms<\/td>\n<td>Swelling, tenderness, pain (especially increasing with movement), decreased muscle strength, limited range of motion, sudden sense of gap in ruptures.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Diagnostic Methods<\/td>\n<td>Physical examination, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), EMG when necessary.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Causes of Tendinitis<\/td>\n<td>Overuse, repetitive movements, poor posture, inappropriate exercise, aging, systemic diseases such as diabetes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Findings of Tendon Rupture<\/td>\n<td>Sudden severe pain, loss of function (for example inability to pull the ankle upward in Achilles rupture), bruising, sense of gap along the tendon line.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment of Mild Cases<\/td>\n<td>Rest, ice application, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, use of splint\/brace, physical therapy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment of Severe Cases<\/td>\n<td>Surgical repair (suturing the tendon ends), tendon graft or transfer, followed by a rehabilitation process.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Surgical Techniques<\/td>\n<td>End-to-end tendon repair, repair with graft, tendon gliding or transfer (restoring function via another tendon).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rehabilitation Process<\/td>\n<td>After protective splinting, passive and active exercises, strengthening program, ensuring muscle-tendon balance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recovery Time<\/td>\n<td>Although it varies depending on the type of condition, full functional recovery after surgery generally takes 8\u201312 weeks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Complications<\/td>\n<td>Adhesions, insufficient healing, re-rupture of the tendon, joint stiffness, muscle weakness.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Prevention Methods<\/td>\n<td>Proper exercise technique, warm-up and cool-down habits, regular stretching to maintain muscle-tendon balance, avoiding overloading.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Related Departments<\/td>\n<td>Orthopedics and traumatology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, plastic surgery (especially hand surgery).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1530511827 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px

are clinical conditions that arise when tendon tissue that connects muscles to bones is damaged due to overuse, trauma, aging, or inflammatory processes. The most common conditions include tendinitis, tendinosis, and tendon tears. They may present with pain, restricted movement, and loss of strength. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to prevent permanent functional loss.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1979683095 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-2126780901\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-2126780901-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-during-which-movements-do-tendon-injuries-occur-most-frequently?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-2126780901-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>During which movements do tendon injuries occur most frequently?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-2126780901-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-2126780901-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Tendon injuries usually occur during sudden strains, falls, heavy lifting, or sudden turns during sports.
