Patellar Tendonitis a. ... Jumpers Knee
Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumpers knee, is a relatively common inflammatory, which includes the quadriceps muscle and patellar tendon, connects the patella (kneecap) to the femur (thighbone) and the tibia (shin). Patellar tendinitis begins as inflammation of the patellar tendon where it attaches to the patella. ... Microtears to the patellar tendon often exceed the bodys ability to heal the area unless the aggravating activity is stopped for a period of time. ...
Patients with jumpers knee have pain in the area of the patellar tendon, usually near its attachment to the patella. ... Strengthening the quadriceps helps to balance the forces across the patella and take pressure off the patellar tendon.
