I find both of these words in the dictationary with the SAME meaning, but I keep getting marked down from QA on the tendonitis......can anyone tell me if there is a reason for this? Is it just preference or is there a difference in meaning because I CANNOT FIND IT!!!!

My Stedman's ortho book has main listing "tendinitis" with subentries under this spelling. It also has "tendonitis" as a "variant of tendinitis" with no subentries. As backup I checked Vera Pyle and the entry in the silver book is as follows:
tendinitis - not tendonitis (her italics)

Many years ago, I typed tendonitis on a report and the orthopod almost pecked me to the wall and said it was "tendinitis" and that is what he wanted to see in his reports. Other docs prefer tendonitis..sooo....as far as the rule goes, spell it like the client wants it typed (they both mean the same thing).

Subject: tendinitis, as per Stedmans Electronic Medical Dictionary 7.0
Tendinitis: Because this word is based on the Latin word tendo, with a genitive singular form of tendinis, and a combining form that is therefore tendin, the spelling tendonitis is irregular.
