Sehnenriss
Tendon tears and ruptures are common and sometimes disabling injuries. They can occur within the midsubstance or be an avulsion injury.
Pathology
The pathophysiology of tendon tears and ruptures is uncertain but is thought to be the end-point of tendinopathy in most cases.
Pathology
Location
In theory, any tendon can potentially rupture but more common locations include:
- Achilles tendon rupture
- biceps brachii tendon rupture
- hamstring origin complex (see: ischial avulsion injury)
- peroneus brevis rupture
- quadriceps tendon rupture
- semimembranosus distal tendon avulsion injury
