Paratenonitis

Paratenonitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the paratenon, which is a sheath surrounding a tendon. This condition is often associated with overuse or repetitive strain injuries, commonly seen in athletes or individuals who engage in activities that require repetitive motions. Symptoms of paratenonitis may include localized pain, swelling, and tenderness along the tendon, particularly during movement. It can occur in various tendons in the body, such as those in the Achilles, patellar, or elbow regions.
