Manufacturer Narrative

Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon that attaches muscle to bone.It can happen to any tendon in the body.When a tendon is inflamed, it can cause swelling, pain, and discomfort.Tendinitis often results from sports injuries or repetitive movements, it's usually caused by overuse.The condition is more common in adults over the age of 40 and athletes.With tha the hip is manipulated and tendons get stretched and pulled which can cause it to be inflamed with symptoms of swelling, pain, and discomfort.As the patient is recovering tendonitis can develop from overuse, especially within the first couple months.Tendinitis may go away over time.If not, a doctor will recommend treatments to reduce pain and inflammation and preserve mobility.Most cases of tendonitis can be successfully treated with rest, ice, compression (a sleeve or wrap), elevation, stretching, and modification of activities however tendinitis is also commonly treated with steroid injections to reduce the pain and inflammation.When properly treated, most tendinitis conditions don¿t result in permanent joint damage or disability.The best way to prevent it from occurring is to avoid or modify activities that caused the problem.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
