Other areas of infla: Enteritis denotes inflammation where a tendon attaches to bone .The most common site is the back of the heel where the achilles' tendon attaches to the heel. Sacroillitis is inflammation of the sacroiliac joints in the back of the pelvis. They are located in the middle of the buttocks and represent a joint where the sacrum meets the ilium. Very common in juvenile and other forms of arthritis.
