A hardened appendix typically refers to a condition where the appendix becomes inflamed and swollen, often due to appendicitis. In this state, the tissue can become firm or rigid, which may be detectable through physical examination or imaging. This hardness indicates inflammation and potential infection, necessitating medical evaluation and often surgical intervention to prevent complications.

Appendix failure, also known as appendicitis, is typically caused by a blockage in the appendix, leading to inflammation and bacterial infection.
