Tendinopathies with and without tendon rupture are rare adverse events, occurring mainly following older fluoroquinolones, but recently also to an increasing extent following levofloxacin. We report the first case of tendinitis after treatment with moxifloxacin, and of recurrent tendinitis after treatment with 2 different fluoroquinolones. From these findings we conclude hitherto unexplained class effect of fluoroquinolones in respect of the development of tendinitis.

The tendon-bone interface, known as the tenosynovial union or attachment, can be easily damaged by excessive exercise or trauma. Tendon-bone healing is a significant research topic in orthopedics, encompassing various aspects of sports injuries and postoperative recovery. Surgery is the most common treatment; however, it has limited efficacy in promoting tendon-bone healing and carries a risk of postoperative recurrence, necessitating the search for more effective treatments.

Calcification or ossification of the longus colli tendon is a rare and often underdiagnosed cause of acute neck pain, typically seen in middle-aged adults, especially women. This condition results from the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals in the tendon, causing an inflammatory or granulomatous response. Common symptoms include neck pain, painful swallowing, and fever.

January 2025
¶Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey.
Background: Many factors, such as decreased spinal mobility, pain, and dysfunction can affect gait parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plantar fascia enthesitis and disease-specific measurements on gait parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Methods: The Win-Track platform was used to evaluate spatiotemporal parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and in healthy controls.
