Question 7

what causes an ecu tendon to tear?

Accepted Answer

Repetitive extension: Multiple causes can lead to extensor carpi ulnaris tendon pathology. The mechanism to "tear" would be loading the tendon by extension and radial deviation repetitively or a significant lift resisting this motion. Secondly inflammatory processes like rheumatoid arthritis and gout can weaken the tendon prior to tear.  Finally an old fracture or RA with prominent ulna can compromise the ecu tendon.

Question 9

how do you treat tear in a tendon. ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on a lot: This depends greatly on which tendon, degree of tear, and functional goals of the patient. At best, some tears can be managed with pain control and rest, similar to a muscle strain; complete tears or tears in muscles bearing high loads may require surgery. Often physical therapy will be a component of the plan, as will antiinflammatories and rest.

Probably not: Antisocial personality disorder, psychopath & sociopath refer to an indifference to social rules and a high level of callousness.  “psychopath” originally suggested a biological tendency to antisocial behavior, while the term “sociopath” suggests that antisocial behavior is learned.
