Abstract

Tendons can withstand a lot of tension and can cushion muscle damage. Tendon injury is a common musculoskeletal disorder in life, which causes local pain, abnormal motor function and other symptoms. Clinical symptoms of chronic tendon injury or tendon disease include pain, decreased muscle strength, and decreased physical activity. Obesity, multiple strains, and overstretching are the most common causes of tendon injuries. The most common overuse tendon disorders include rotator cuff tendon, medial and lateral epicondylar elbow tendon, patellar tendon, gluteal tendon, and Achilles tendon. In most cases, tendon injuries do not require surgery. However, this process is usually slow and leads to the formation of lower scar tissue. More severe injuries, such as acute mechanical loading and other physical factors, usually result in tendon tears that require treatment. There are several treatment options available for tendon injuries, such as Physical therapy, Cold compress therapy, Gene therapy, Surgery, etc. None has been shown to result in a sustained and near complete recovery, and conservative treatment is the most reliable treatment. It is also particularly important to prevent adhesions from occurring during the tendon healing process. This review presents the main therapies for tendon injuries from two different types of medicine, Chinese and Western.
