Other specified disorders of synovium and tendon - what does this mean
Other specified disorders of synovium and tendon occur when the synovium (a thin membrane that lines the joint) and the tendon (a fibrous cord of tissue that connects muscle to bone) become inflamed, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected area. this can be caused by injury, infection, or autoimmune disorders.
What happens during the disease - other specified disorders of synovium and tendon
Other specified disorders of synovium and tendon are caused by a disruption of the normal functioning of the synovium and tendons. this disruption can be caused by an injury, infection, or an autoimmune disorder, leading to inflammation, swelling, and pain. in some cases, the disorder can also be caused by a genetic mutation or a metabolic disorder. treatment typically involves medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery.
