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.
Tendonitis Risk Factors and Causes. Tendonitis can occur when a particular tendon is overused, for example, through repeated actions (e.g., swinging a tennis racket, gripping a hammer). Stress on the tendon causes small tears, which the body tries to repair on its own. Continued activity slows down this process, resulting in more tearing and more pain. Repetitive motion that puts unnecessary stress on a tendon and increases tearing results in an increased risk for tendonitis.
