Tendonitis is irritation or inflammation of a tendon. Tendonitis is usually caused from repetitive motion such as sports type injuries. In an auto accident injury this would be caused from sudden or direct force applied to the area of concern.
As mentioned before, the damage of tendon tissue is characterized by inflammation, with the hallmarks of inflammation in any tissue being the presence of heat, pain, and swelling. It is therefore appropriate to call most tendon injuries a tendonitis (the suffix -itis indicating inflammation).
