This has bugged me for years too but according to Stedman's Ortho/Rehab Words it can be spelled either way.
I would think tendinitis is preferred
Subject: I would think tendinitis is preferred

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:

Subject: Tendo and tendinitis are both accepted, it all depends on your doc dictating.

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).



tendinitis, as per Stedmans Electronic Medical Dictionary 7.0
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.
