Aging changes tendon biology, healing capacity, and biomechanical properties and results in increased susceptibility to injuries. With the aging population, the socio-economic burden from tendinopathies is increasing. This article discusses the structure of tendons and the physiologic changes that occur with aging. We then discuss some of the most prevalent tendinopathies affecting the elderly population. Finally, we provide an overview of current knowledge on the nonsurgical management of tendinopathies and advanced imaging techniques to improve the aging and diseased tendon characterization.
随着人口老龄化，肌腱病带来的社会经济负担正在增加。本文讨论了肌腱的结构以及随着年龄增长而发生的生理变化。然后，我们讨论了一些影响老年人群体的最常见的肌腱病。最后，我们概述了肌腱病的非手术治疗和先进成像技术的最新知识，以改善老化和患病肌腱的特征。
