The term tendinopathy includes a series of pathologies, all of which have a combination of pain, swelling, and impaired performance. The terms tendinosis, tendinitis and peritendinitis are all within the main heading of tendinopathy; this terminology provides a more accurate understanding of the condition and highlights the uniformity of clinical findings while distinguishing the individual histopathological findings of each condition. Understanding the clinical features and the underlying histopathology leads to a more accurate clinical diagnosis and subsequent treatment selection. Misuse of the term tendinitis can lead to the underestimation of chronic degenerative nature of many tendinopathies, affecting the treatment selection.
肌腱病这一术语涵盖了一系列病症，所有这些病症都伴有疼痛、肿胀和功能受损。肌腱退变、肌腱炎和腱鞘炎都属于肌腱病这一主要范畴；这种术语能够更准确地理解病情，并突出临床发现的一致性，同时区分每种病症各自的组织病理学发现。了解临床特征和潜在的组织病理学情况有助于做出更准确的临床诊断以及后续的治疗选择。肌腱炎这一术语的误用可能导致低估许多肌腱病的慢性退行性本质，从而影响治疗选择。
