Classification and definition of tendinopathies.
The authors have classified tendinopathies into two categories. The majority of the tendinopathies are in the primary category in which lesions arise in the substance of the tendon. The authors emphasize that not all tendinopathies are degenerative in nature. Some primary tendinopathies are reactive, such as calcifying tendinitis.
