[Diagnosis of dystrophic lesions of the muscular and ligamentous tendons].
The authors presented the results of investigations of the humoral, ulnar, hip, knee joints and calcanei in 4140 patients. Histology has shown that calcifications and ossifications at the sites of tendon fixation are localized in tendons. The substitution of tendinous tissue for a bone results from calcareous dystrophy. Three stages can be singled out: (I) the substitution of a tendon portion for a fibrillar cartilage; (II) the calcification of a cartilage; (III) the substitution of a calcified cartilage for a newly developed spongy bone. According to the preliminary data, similar changes can bep6 observed in ligaments, too. The clinical and x-ray examination have shown the frequency of tendinous and ligamentous lesions (tendinosis and ligamentosis) of different sites. They were shown to be pathology that may not be accompanied by pains. The appearance of the pain syndrome means the development of disease.
