Medical Dictionary
Definition of medical terminology for Enthesopathy.
Enthesopathy: An all-inclusive term that covers all abnormalities of an enthesis (e.g. enthesitis is an inflammatory type of enthesopathy).
Enthesopathy is a presenting part of many inflammatory conditions and is considered a process rather than a disease in itself.
Enthesopathy (abnormalities in entheses or ligamentous attachments) is also a typical feature. Radiographically, erosion and eburnation of the subligamentous bone with poorly defined erosive abnormalities and surrounding sclerosis are seen.
Enthesopathy
A disease process at musculotendinous junctions and/or where tendons and ligaments attach into bones or joint capsules. It is characterized by local tenderness and may, in time, develop into enthesitis.
