Enthesopathies

Enthesopathies In medicine, an enthesopathy refers to a disorder of entheses (bone attachments).  If the condition is known to be inflammatory, it can more precisely be called a enthesitis. Enthesopathies are disorders of peripheral ligamentous or muscular attachments.

Examples include spondoarthropathy such as ankylosing spondylitis, plantar fascitis, and Achilles tendinitis
