Tendopathien und Sehnenverletzungen

Sehnenschädigungen zählen zu den häufigsten Problemen bei Sportlern. Rupturen können spontan auftreten, sind jedoch meist nur die letzte Stufe eines vorbestehenden degenerativen Prozesses. Bis zu 50 % sind überlastungsbedingt. Das Lebenszeitrisiko eines ambitionierten Läufers für eine Ruptur der Achillessehne beträgt z. B. 11 %. Vor allem große Sehnen, wie die Achillessehne, die Patellarsehne, die Rotatorenmanschette oder die Extensorensehnen des Unterarms, reagieren empfindlich auf Über- und Fehlbelastungen.

Auch in der Normalbevölkerung kann es zu Sehnenschädigungen aufgrund degenerativer Vorschädigung kommen.
