title: [Recommendations for expert assessment of tendon injuries].
abstract: Expert assessment of tendon injuries depends on differences between private and public insurance providers in the way preexisting conditions have to be taken into account. In most cases degenerative and injury-dependent factors have to be balanced. Common tendon injuries such as Achilles and biceps tendon ruptures as well as rotator cuff tears are discussed.
