Enthesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enthesis (plural: entheses) is the point at which a tendon inserts into bone, where the collagen fibres are mineralised and integrated into bone tissue.
There are two types:
- Fibrous entheses
- Fibrocartilaginous entheses
A disease of entheses is known as an "enthesopathy".
