Enthesopathies of lower limb, excluding foot - what does this mean
Enthesopathies of the lower limb, excluding the foot, are conditions where there is inflammation and damage to the tendons, ligaments and muscles where they attach to the bones of the lower limb. this can be caused by direct trauma, repetitive strain, or systemic conditions such as arthritis. symptoms can include pain, swelling, and restricted movement. treatment may include rest, physical therapy, medications, and in some cases, surgery.
What happens during the disease - enthesopathies of lower limb, excluding foot
Enthesopathies of the lower limb are caused by repetitive strain and microtrauma to the entheses, the sites of attachment between tendons and bone. this strain is typically due to repetitive or prolonged activities that place repetitive stress on the entheses, such as running, jumping, or prolonged standing. this strain leads to inflammation, which can lead to the formation of fibrous tissue at the enthesis, resulting in pain and stiffness. in some cases, this inflammation can lead to the formation of bony spurs, which can further interfere with tendon movement and cause further pain.
