Disease Features spontaneous rupture of unspecified tendon
Absence or low individual and public risk
Spontaneous rupture of unspecified tendon - what does this mean
Spontaneous rupture of an unspecified tendon occurs when the tendon becomes weakened over time due to repetitive strain or age-related wear and tear, eventually leading to a complete tear of the tendon. this can cause severe pain and disability, and may require surgery to repair the tendon.
What happens during the disease - spontaneous rupture of unspecified tendon
The pathogenesis of spontaneous rupture of an unspecified tendon is likely due to a combination of factors, including age-related degeneration, genetic predisposition, and overuse or trauma. age-related degeneration of the tendon causes a weakening of the collagen fibers, making it more susceptible to damage. genetic predisposition may also lead to a weaker tendon structure, making it more prone to rupture. finally, overuse or trauma can cause micro-tears in the tendon, which can lead to a spontaneous rupture.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination to identify the affected tendon and assess the degree of injury
- X-ray to assess the extent of the injury
- MRI to evaluate the integrity of the affected tendon
- Ultrasound to assess the extent of the injury
- Blood tests to check for inflammation and infection
- Tendon biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce pain and restore the function of the tendon
- Physical Therapy
- Rest and Ice
- Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
- Corticosteroid Injections
- Surgical Repair
