These are damages that occur as a result of tendon overuse, sudden trauma or weakening due to aging. Tendon injury<\/strong>, occurs in different severities from mild strain to complete tear. There are different types such as tendonitis, tendinosis (chronic degeneration) and tendon rupture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of Tendon Injury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tendon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Repeating the same movement frequently can cause wear and tear on tendons. Athletes and individuals who do heavy work are especially at risk. Tendons can be strained or torn as a result of falls, impacts or sudden movements. As we age, tendons lose their elasticity and become more easily injured. Insufficient flexibility of muscles and tendons increases the risk of injury in sudden movements. Starting an exercise without warming up causes tendons to strain. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis can weaken tendons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tendon Injury Symptoms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tendon injury <\/strong>It usually presents with obvious symptoms. The most common symptoms are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Pain during movement or at rest<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Swelling and tenderness in the affected area<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Limited mobility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Increased temperature in the affected tendon area<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • In severe cases, a feeling of rupture and sudden loss of function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Symptoms usually vary depending on the severity of the injury. In mild strains, only pain is felt. In complete tears, movement may be completely lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Areas Where Tendon Injury Cases Are Commonly Seen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Tendon injury <\/strong>It can be seen in many different parts of the body. Rotator cuff injuries are especially common in athletes and individuals who lift heavy loads. Inflammation can occur in the elbow tendons due to repetitive movements. Wrist and finger tendons are damaged due to activities such as using the keyboard and playing musical instruments. Knee injuries are common among runners, basketball players and football players. The Achilles tendon is frequently injured, especially in individuals who do running and jumping activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tendon Injury Diagnostic Methods<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Diagnosis can be made based on the patient's complaints and physical examination. However, in some cases, additional tests may be required. Ultrasound provides detailed information about the condition of the tendons. Magnetic resonance imaging shows tendon tears and inflammation in more detail. X-rays can be used to evaluate possible damage to the tendon's attachment points to the bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tendon Injury Treatment Methods<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \"Tendon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Tendon injury treatment, <\/strong>It varies depending on the severity of the injury. Rest is very important for the tendon to heal. Movements that may increase pain should be avoided. Ice should be applied at regular intervals for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Exercises recommended by the physiotherapist should be done to strengthen the tendons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be used to reduce pain and inflammation. Cortisone injections or PRP therapy can speed up healing in some cases. In severe cases, such as complete ruptures, surgery may be required. In patients whose mobility is important, the post-operative rehabilitation process should be managed meticulously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prevention Methods for Tendon Injury<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Stretching exercises should be done before and after exercise. Exercises that strengthen muscles and increase balance should be done. During heavy activities, care should be taken not to overload the tendons. The durability of the tendons should be increased with regular physical activity. Ergonomic working conditions should be provided (for example, correct sitting position is important for those who work at the computer for long periods of time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

    Tendon injury<\/strong>, is a disorder that makes daily life difficult and requires long-term rehabilitation. However, the healing process can be accelerated with early diagnosis and correct treatment. It is of great importance for everyone, especially athletes and individuals who do heavy work, to pay attention to tendon health in order to prevent injuries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
