Tendinosis, sometimes called chronic tendinitis, chronic tendinopathy, or chronic tendon injury is damage to a tendon on a cellular level. It is thought to be caused by Microtears in the connective tissue in and around the tendon.

Tendinoses is typically diagnosed as Tendinitis due to the limited understanding of tendinopathies by the medical community. The suffix 'itis' indicates inflammation leading to anti-inflammatories being prescribed, despite there being limited support for this treatment in clinical trials.
