Tendon injuries give rise to substantial morbidity, and current understanding of the mechanisms involved in tendon injury and repair is limited. This chapter discusses tendon injury and intrinsic repair. The chapter first reviews the current knowledge on aetiology and pathophysiology of tendon injuries (tendinopathies and ruptures).

Abstract
Tendon injuries give rise to substantial morbidity, and current understanding of the mechanisms involved in tendon injury and repair is limited. This chapter discusses tendon injury and intrinsic repair. The chapter first reviews the current knowledge on aetiology and pathophysiology of tendon injuries (tendinopathies and ruptures). Mechanisms of tendon healing are then discussed. © 2010 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
