Tendon injuries and their causes
Tendon injuries can occur due to traumatic events or repetitive motion over time. They commonly affect athletes, the elderly, and anyone engaged in activities that put strain on tendons. Tendon tears can happen in various areas of the body, with Achilles tendon and rotator cuff injuries being the most common. These injuries can result in partial tears or complete tears, with the former being more prevalent. Tendon injuries are often characterized by pain and can lead to disability if not properly addressed.
