Tendon anatomyTendon anatomy
•Primery secondary and tertiery tendon bundles•Components: collagen
Associated structuresAssociated structures
•Endotendon: fine connective tissue between the strands in a tendon •Peritendon (peritenon): the connective tissue structures attached to and surrounding a tendon •Paratendon (paratenon): loose connective tissue filling the interstices of the fascial compartment in which a tendon is situated and which allows it to move freely; is not organized into discrete tendon sheaths. •Mesotendon: the connective tissue sheath attaching a tendon to its synovial sheath•Tendon sheath (epitendineum): white fibrous sheath surrounding a tendon
Mechanical properitiesMechanical properities
•Low extensibility
•Due to stress- elastic and visioelastic phase –
and rupture
•Approximately 3% of extension,
•dissappearance of the wave form and helicles
•3-5% of extension: partial rupture
•more than 5-6% of extension: total rupture
Tendon injuriesTendon injuries
•Tendon wounds•Cause, symptoms, treatment, prognosis
•Tendon rupture•Fibrillar damage, partial or total rupture
TendinitisTendinitis
•Acute•Chronic (aseptic)•Septic

TendinitisTendinitis
•Pathogenesis•stress•Degenerative changes•Heat•Hypoxia
Tendinitis Tendinitis --healinghealing
•Extrinsic way (peritendon, mesotendon, paratendon)•Intrinsic way (fibroblasts)
NO REGENERATION! - BUT REPARATION!Instead of collagen I. collagen III. fibres
Acute tendinitis clinical Acute tendinitis clinical
examinationexamination
•Visual examination at rest•Palpation•Visual examination at exercise•Ultrasonography•Other diagnostic possibilities
•X-ray•Scintigraphy•CT•MRI
Acute tendinitis Acute tendinitis ––
conservative treatmentconservative treatment
•Systemic (NSAID, Corticosteroids?)
•Local •cold, icepacs, topical DMSO•Pressure bandage, light cast•Subacute
•Peritendinous hyaluronic acid (Hylartil inj)•Intratendinous PSGAG (Adequan i.a.inj.)
•Shock wave therapy (in more chronic form!)•Stem cells
Tendinitis surgical treatmentTendinitis surgical treatment
•Desmotomy of the prox. accessory lig.•Tendon splitting
