Talk:Tendinosis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why should tendonitis and tendinosis be merged? They are different diseases which happen to occur in the same place and which have similar symptoms. 216.254.25.199 06:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. Tendinosis (no signs of inflammation) and tendonitis (inflammatory cells present) can usually only be diagnosed after histopathological examination of the tissue. Until this is done, the term tendinopathy is probably more correct. (Ref: J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact. 2006 Apr-Jun;6(2):181-90. )
