Popis: The pathophysiology of tendon tears is complex and multifactorial. Numerous intrinsic and extrinsic factors, as well as different diseases, can interfere with tendon homeostasis, creating a disequilibrium and leading to tendon weakening. Once the injury has occurred, it is important to evaluate factors that can delay or enhance tendon healing. Among many factors, vascularization and aging have important roles in the healing process.
