The site of the attachment of ligaments or tendons to a bone are where enthesopathies occur.
In medicine, an enthesopathy refers to a disorder involving the attachment of a tendon or ligament to a bone.[1] This site of attachment is known as the entheses.
If the condition is known to be inflammatory, it can more precisely be called an enthesitis.
