The herniated disk leads to nerve dysfunction through one of two mechanisms. First, compressiononthenerverootcausesmechanicaldysfunction.Becausespinalnerverootslack the robust protective connective tissuesheaths that characterize peripheral nerves, they are thought to be especially susceptible to mechanical compression. Second, release of disk materialinthevicinityofthenerverootstriggersaninflammatorycascadethatalsoresultsin

DiagnosisandLowerExtremityFindings
Patientspresentingwithdiskherniationmayprovidealonghistoryofmildtomoderateback painordescribeaspecificincidentthattriggeredtheonsetoftheirpain.Thepainincasesof diskherniationistypicallydescribedaslegandbackpain.Thelegpainfollowsadermatomal distribution(Fig.21-2).CommonsitesofdiskherniationincludetheL4-5andL5-S1levels. Examples of events that may trigger the onset of pain may include heavy lifting, bending, twisting, orafall.Mostpatientspresentingfor this complaint typicallyhaveacomplaintof pain,althoughnumbnessandweaknessarealsopossible.Thepainistypicallydescribedasa “radiating”painextendingtodifferentpartsofthelowerextremitydependingonthelocationof theherniation.Forexample,aherniationatL2maypresentaspaininthemedialthigh,whereas aherniationatL4–S1willtypicallypresentaspainthatradiatesbelowthekneeandintothe foot.Theymustalsoelicitanycomplaintsofbowelorbladderdysfunction,progressiveweight loss,fevers,chills,andhistoryofcancer.Particularattentionmustalsobepaidtoperipheral causesofpainsuchasnerve(tumor,peripheralnervecompression,ordiabeticneuropathy)or musculoskeletalcausesofpain.

abductors.Patientsmayalsoleanawayfromtheaffectedsideasthismaneuveristhoughtto releasethemechanicalpressureofthenerverootfromtheherniateddisk.Inadvancedcases, patients may have a foot drop and exhibit a steppage-type gait pattern. A thorough neurovascular exam must be performed as well. Unlike lumbar stenosis, findings in disk herniationaretypicallyunilateral.Asymmetricreflexes,weakness,orchangesinsensationare allpotentialredflagsfordiskpathology.
Severalclinical testsexisttoconfirmthediagnosisofdiskherniation.Inthepresenceof lumbar diskherniation(L3–S1), theaffectednerve roots canbetensedduringastraight leg raisemaneuver.Inthistest,thelegisextendedandpassivelyraised(Fig.21-11).Inthearcof motionbetweenapproximately30°and70°ofhipflexion,thenerve rootisdrapedoverthe disk and tensed. The straight leg raise test is considered positive when this maneuver reproducesthepatients’symptoms.Thephysicianmayalsoperformastraightlegraiseonthe contralateral extremity. If this reproduces symptoms in the affected limb, it is thought to
increase thespecificity of thefinding15;however, estimates varyfrom 10% to 100%.
1,16
 A variationofthestraightlegraise,theslumptest,canbeperformedwiththepatientinaseated position.Thepatientisaskedtoflextheirneckandthoracicspine(“slump”) andthefootis dorsiflexedandthekneeextended.Thismaneuvercausesthespinalcordtoglidecephaladand increases thetensiononthenerveroots;ithasbeenshowntobemore sensitive.Finally, in cases of upper lumbar disk herniation, the femoral nerve stretch test may be used. In this maneuver,thekneeis flexedandthe hipisextended with the patientinthe proneorlateral decubitus position. Reproduction of the patients’ pain (usually thigh pain) is indicative of upperlumbarrootpathology(L1–L2orL2–L3).

Newer theories concerning the pathogenesis of tendinopathies suggest that both inflammatoryanddegenerativeprocessesplayrolesinthiscomplexdiseaseentity7(Fig.22-

associated with sporting activities, as it has been shown that approximately one-third of patients with Achilles tendinopathy do not participate in vigorous activities.9 This is

affect patients’ overall quality of lives. Treatment options depend on the specific tendon involved,durationofsymptoms,previoustreatments,andpatientfactorsincludingage,activity level,andmedicalcomorbidities.Bothnonsurgicalandoperativeinterventionscanbeusedon acase-by-casebasis. Unfortunately, thereisapaucityintheliteratureofqualityrandomized controlledstudiestohelpguidetreatment.
In this chapter, we review the pathophysiology of tendinopathy and the risk factors predisposing patients to tendinopathy, particularly in the setting of systemic disorders, and reviewtheevaluationandtreatmentofcommonfootandankletendinopathies.
DEFINITIONS
Intheliterature,thenomenclatureusedtodescribetendondisordershasbeenconfusing,and multiple terms are often used to describe the same disease process. Traditionally, the term tendonitis has been used to describe chronic pain or dysfunction of a tendon, with the implication that an inflammatory process is the primary underlying pathology. However, histologic review ofsurgical specimensfromchronictendinopathiesoftheAchilles, rotator cuff, patella, and extensor carpi radialis brevis has shown either absent or minimal
inflammation.
1,2,4–6
Throughout this chapter,the term “tendinopathy” will be usedtodescribeaspectrum of tendonoverusedisordersthatincludeparatendinitis,tendonitis,andtendinosis.Paratendinitis isanacuteinflammatoryprocessaffectingtheparatenonandadjacentnontendinoustissues.In isolation,thispathologicprocessdoesnotusuallycausetendonrupture,isreversible,andcan betreatedwithtenolysisinrefractorycases.
Tendonitis is tendinopathy with the presence of a histologically proven inflammatory process.Studieshavedemonstratedthatoverloaded equinesuperficialdigitalflexortendons undergoanacutephaseoftendoninjurythatinvolvesinflammatorycellsearlyonintheinjury
process, which is followed by a degenerative process.
10,11
 Tendinosis describes a degenerativeprocessthatlacksinflammation.Thesetendonshaveintrasubstancedegeneration, whichcanbeappreciatedclinicallybynoduleswithinthetendon.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Tendons are composed mainly of collagen fibrils, which are encased by an endotenon. Multiplecollagenfibrilsgroupedtogetheraresurroundedbyan epitenonthatdemarcatesthe actualtendon.Inordertoprovideprotectionandlubricationandpreventfriction,sometendons haveatrueenvelopingsynovialsheath(i.e.,tibialisposteriorandperonealtendons),whereas other tendons are encased solely by a peritenon (i.e., Achilles). The extracellular matrix consistsofcollagen(65% to80%ofdryweight),mostofwhichisTypeI,whichprovides tendons with tensile strength. The mechanical behavior oftendons, whichis viscoelastic in nature,issecondarytothecross-sectionalareaandlengthofthetendon.Thelargeratendon’s
cross-sectional area, the greater theload to failure rate.12 Tendons with longer fibers have decreasedstiffness,equivalentloadtofailurerates,butincreasedelongationtofailurerates.
13
https://t.me/medicina_free
Therestoftheextracellularmatrixismadeupof1%to2%elastinandagroundsubstancethat consistsof 60% to 80% water, proteoglycans,and glycoproteins.7 Tenoblasts andtenocytes
form parallel rows between collagen fibers, making up 90% to 95% of tendons’ cellular components.7 Tendons carry their function through the musculotendinous junction, a richly
innervated transitional area between the muscle and the tendon that experiences high mechanical forces, therefore making this region susceptible to injury. The enthesis, or osteotendinousjunction,isanorganizedtransitionzonefromtendontoboneallowingmuscles toeffectivelytransmitforcetobone.
To date, the etiology and pathophysiology of tendinopathy are not well understood. As previouslystated,tendinopathywasoncebelievedtobetheresultofinflammation.However, throughclinicalpractice,ithasbecomerecognizedthatanti-inflammatorymedicationsdonot relieve the painassociatedwithtendinopathy. In addition,using microdialysis,Alfredson et
al.14demonstratedalackoftheinflammatorymediatorprostaglandinE2inchronicallyaffected Achilles tendons. However, clinical and basic science research often involves chronically
affected tendons, making it possible that inflammation plays a role in the initial insult to chronicallydiseasedtendons.
Histologically, chronic tendinopathy is characterized by degenerative changes, which include decreased cellularity and calcific, hypoxic, hyaline, mucoid, myxoid, fibrinoid, and
fattydegenerations
2,4,15
(Fig.22-2).Chronictendinopathyisalsocharacterizedbyanincrease inType III collagen, which hasless cross-links thanType I collagen, conferring decreased tensilestrength,aswellasdegenerationandlossoforganizationofcollagenfibersmainlydue
to increased activity of matrix metalloproteinases.16 Studies have shown that degenerative areas of tendons experience neovascularization.
17,18
 Interestingly, using in vivo powered
Doppler ultrasonography, various studieshave demonstrated thatneovascularizationis often associatedwithpatientswhoaresymptomaticandexperiencingpain.
17,19
Lastly,degenerative changescharacterizedby adhesionsand increased numberoffibroblasts andmyofibroblasts arefoundinperitendinoustissues,mostcommonlyoccurringintendonswithsynovialsheaths
(posterior tibial and peroneal tendons).20 Grossly, chronically diseased tendons have a disorganized appearanceillustratedby ayellowishor browncolor,palpable thickenings or nodulesintheareasofchronicdiseaseanddegenerationthatcanbecalcified.

FIGURE22-2.Asummaryofthepathologicfindingsassociatedwithtendinopathy.(ReproducedfromUpToDate,
WoltersKluwerHealth.)
Therearecurrentlythreemaintheoriesdescribingtheetiologyoftendondegenerationthat can progress to chronic tendinopathy and potential rupture: the mechanical, vascular, and neuraltheories.
The mechanical theory of tendinopathy describes how chronic repetitive damage to tendons over time could lead to a state of degeneration as opposed to inflammation. This theory states that repetitive loading of a tendon under physiologic loads progresses to degenerationandultimatetendonfailure.Atrest,tendoncollagenfibersaredisorganizedina wave-likeformation.Asatendonisloaded,thesefibersbegintoorganizeinaparallelmanner.
https://t.me/medicina_free
This occurs in thetoe region ofthestress–strain curve. Once thecollagen fibers align and experiencecontinuedforce,thetendonenterstheelasticpartofthestress–straincurve,which ischaracterizedbyalinearrelationshipbetweenloadandstrain.Ithasbeenshownthatnormal
physiologicloadingofatendonoccursbetween4%and8%strain.
21–26
Atthehigher endof thephysiologicloading,tendonsexperiencemicroscopictrauma,leadingtodegenerationand failure with repetitive stress. This repetitive microtrauma can lead to the alteration of
mechanicalpropertiesoftendonsaswellasasymptomatictendon.
21,27–29
Thistheoryfailsto accountforwhyspecificareasoftendonshaveapredilectionforinjuryanddoesnotexplain whysomepatientsaresymptomaticandothersarenot.
The vascular theory of tendinopathy is formed on the basis that tendons are metabolic structures with metabolic demandsrequiring an adequatevascular supply. Thetheory states that in the absence of an adequate blood supply, tendons undergo degeneration. Certain
tendons,includingtheAchilles30andposteriortibial31tendons,havebeenshowntohaveareas ofhypovascularity.Forexample,thewatershedareaoftheAchillestendonhasbeenshownto occur in the midportion of the tendon as compared to areas closer to the proximal
musculotendinous junction and distal enthesis.32 However, using laser Doppler flowmetry, AstromandWestlin32demonstratedthattheAchillestendonhasuniformbloodsupply,except
atthedistalinsertion.
Theneuraltheoryoftendinopathyisbasedonmultipleobservationsfromvariousstudies trying to connect the role of tendon degeneration and neural-mediated causes. Tendons are highlyinnervatedstructuresthathavenerve endings closelyassociatedwithmastcells.Itis theorizedthattendonoverusecausesoverstimulationofnervesandsubsequentdegranulationof mast cells with the release of neuromodulators such as substance P, a nociceptive
neurotransmitterandproinflammatorymediator,33andacalcitonin-relatedpeptide.34Increased levelsofsubstancePhavebeenfoundinrotatorcufftendinopathy,35and theneurotransmitter glutamate has been found in Achilles tendinopathy.14 Lastly, Maffulli et al.36 discovered a
relationship between sciatica and Achilles tendinopathy, suggesting a connection between tendinopathyand a neural-mediatedcause.Further researchis neededtounderstandthefull significanceandroleofrelationshipbetweennervestimulationandtendinopathy.
Itislikelythatthecombinationofearlyinflammationandlaterdegenerationplaysarolein thepathogenesisofchronictendoninjuryandtendinopathy.Noonetheorycompletelyexplains theetiologyoftendinopathy;rather,itislikelyacombinationofthemechanical,vascular,and neural theories that best explains the pathogenesis. Further studies are needed to better understandtheinterconnectednessofthesetheories.
RISKFACTORS
Theriskfactorsimplicatedinthedevelopmentoftendinopathycanbestratifiedintotwolarge categories: extrinsic andintrinsic (Table 22-1). Extrinsic riskfactors, suchas overuse, are those most commonly implicated. However, other extrinsic factors that must be recognized include training errors, fatigue, environmental conditions, footwear, equipment, and medications/nutritionalsupplementation.Intrinsicriskfactorsareinnatetoagivenindividual,
