Tendons can be disrupted either by a sharp injury (where the tendon is divided by, for instance, a kitchen knife), or an overstretching of a joint (where the tendon is torn off the bone - an avulsion injury). Some diseases will cause the tendons to become thinner and weaker, so that they are unable to transfer the normal forces, and tear easily (attrition).
