In a fibrous enthesis, the collagenous tendon or ligament directly attaches to the bone. In a fibrocartilaginous enthesis, the interface presents a gradient that crosses four transition zones:
- Tendinous area displaying longitudinally oriented fibroblasts and a parallel arrangement of collagen fibres
- Fibrocartilaginous regi
