The Infraspinatus is one of the four rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder that helps to stabilize and rotate the arm. A tendon is where the muscle attaches to bone. Tendinopathy is a general term meaning injury or disease to a tendon. So Infraspinatus tendinopathy would mean some kind of damage or disease to the Infraspinatus muscle near the area where it attaches to the bone.

Is the spelling of the tendon condition tendonopathy or tendinopathy?

Either 'tendinopathy' or' tendonopathy' is correct, according to both Merriam Webster and The Free Dictionary. More specifically, it can be tendinitis, (or tendonitis), or tendinosis, (or tendonosis). The spellings using 'tendon' are probably less confusing, because while the word 'tendin' does exist, it refers to a protein, not to a musculo-skeletal component.

When the infraspinatus muscle contracts concentrically, it primarily facilitates external rotation of the shoulder joint.
