The most common site of tendon injuries is in the ankle, knee, or elbow joints. A tendon injury affects the touch fibers that connect muscles to bones. One of the larger tendons is called the Achilles tendon. This connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. Tendon injuries most commonly occur near the joints. The shoulders can also be affected. While it may appear that a tendon injury may suddenly occur, they’re usually the result of smaller tears to the tendon that have occurred over time.
Sprained Ankle or Strain? When to See an Orthopedic Specialist
If you experience significant swelling, bruising, persistent pain, or difficulty walking after an ankle injury, seeking evaluation from an orthopedic specialist can help ensure a smooth and complete recovery.
Bones constantly change through a process of formation and absorption that’s called remodeling. This balance can change over time, resulting in a loss of bone tissue. Ligaments are the connective tissue that’s located between the bones. Over time, ligaments can become less elastic and result in reduced flexibility.
