The tendon that is damaged in mallet finger is the extensor tendon. It is the tendon responsible for straightening the tip of the finger. When this tendon is injured, it can result in the inability to fully extend the finger at the last joint.
yes
tendon sheath
Structures closely related to tendons (joint capsules, tendon sheaths, pulleys, retinacula, of tendons, but do not make any major contribution to their tensile strength.
ganglionganglion cyst
No full thickness/partial articular tear of the supraspinatus tendon
Hypertrophic change of the AC joint is overgrowth in the acromioclavicular joint, often due to Arthritis.
The talonavicular joint is part of the ankle. The hypertrophic degenerative changes would be the build up of extra tissue in the ankle. This can cause the joint to not flex the way it should.
Hypertrophic degenerative changes refers to enlargement of a particular organ or structure due to degeneration of that part. An example of this is in the musculoskeletal system, where margins of joints form osteophyte, or large outgrowths of bone at the margins of joints.
bursae and tendon sheaths he;p to reduce friction during joint movement
no you should not strike the joint ,but as the name suggest we should strike the tendon
A Ligament or sometimes a Joint or a tendon Attaches a Bone to another Bone. A Tendon attaches a Bone to a Muscle.
The supraspinatus tendon runs from the muscle on the outside of the shoulder blade, over the shoulder joint and inserts on the humerus. The distal aspect is the part that inserts onto the humerus. Tendonopathy is unclassified disease of the tendon; this could be due to infection, trauma, degeneration or neoplasia. In practical terms, this is one of the tendons associated with the rotator cuff. It is severely damaged and may be close to the point of spontaneous rupture. Surgery is not a fun option as it is painful, recovery is time-consuming and 100% function is not likely to be restored. I suspect your doctor would have recommended strict rest to let the tendon heal itself - no lifting weights, no raising the arm over your head, possibly wear a sling.
The distance a tendon travels upon movement of a joint, as seen muscle flexion causing retraction (excursion) of the tendon.
