One of the most common processes and Traumatology of the most popular are the tendinitis. The tendons, with the muscles, are responsible for moving the joints, due to its ability to elongate and contract. Tendinitis involve the inflammation of a tendon in the vicinity of the bone which are inserted. Although they can appear anywhere on the body, as in all tendons are more commonly located in the shoulder, elbow, wrist and foot. The occurrence of tendinitis is related mainly with repeated movements of a joint or a tendon rather than a single effort. It is therefore not correct blame the emergence of tendinitis in an activity in isolation but rather the repetition of movement or effort.
In the best-known shoulder tendinitis epicondylitis is also known as tennis elbow. It is caused by irritation of a group of tendons that come from the humerus and inflammation which causes intense pain in the vicinity of the elbow, which increases with movement or even simple stretching of these tendons. It is called tennis elbow because practitioners often in this sport, but rather on people who do not play tennis regularly, but only in isolated or days or times they do with poor technique. The onset of the tendinitis precludes some movements of the elbow, you can not do sports or take dollars and sometimes the only treatment is surgery. The best prevention of athletes appearing on epicondylitis is to start the sport gradually, gradually making movements with the elbow, take courses in learning the technique of tennis and appropriate sporting use. To prevent tennis elbow shown in blue collar workers are advised not to overload the joint with repeated efforts and seek a position to do the job.
The wrist is a frequent appearance of another tendinitis, causing pain in the vicinity of the thumb and also due to repetitive movements of the wrist, either at work or household activities. Often healing is required for a cast or bandage to keep the wrist in a few days rest. When inflammation of these tendons is maintained for long cracks or cracking may occur when moving the thumb.
At the foot tendon inflammation is most commonly affecting the Achilles tendon behind the ankle. Like the previous tendinitis is caused by repeated movements and is very typical of the dancers or athletes who run without shoes or proper preparation.
