	Patellar Tendonitis Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention - iTendonitis.com
		Patellar tendonitis is a condition that is described by an injury affecting the tendons that connects the patella or kneecap to the tibia or shinbone.
		Patellar tendonitis commonly occurs in athletes who are required to jump frequently in sports like volleyball, soccer, and basketball.
		The first symptom of the patellar tendonitis is pain in the patellar region or between the kneecap and the shinbone's tendon.

	Tendonitis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tendonitis (also tenonitis or tendinitis) is an inflammation of a tendon.
		For example, patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee) is an inflammation of the patellar tendon, which connects the tibia to the patella.
		A veterinary equivalent to Achilles tendonitis is bowed tendon, tendonitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon of the horse.

	patellar tendinitis
		Patellar tendon pain can occur in a number of different sports, most commonly in those that load the area (eg, weightlifting) but also in jumping sports and those that produce significant deceleration forces through the tendon, eg, basketball, squash, fencing, jumpers and field sports with high traction forces (such as hockey played on Astroturf).
		It is thought that the first symptoms of patellar pain correlate with fluid or oedema in the patellar tendon, often close to the lower pole of the patella.
		I find it quite useful to ask the athlete to quantify their perception of discomfort in the patellar tendon on a scale of 0-10, where 0 is no pain at all and 10 is the most severe pain that they have had in the tendon.

	Research + Radiological and M.R.I. Analysis of the Morphology of Patellar Tendonitis
		Patellar tendonitis is thought to be due to a chronic overload of the tendon which results in repetitive microscopic damage and inflammation within the upper central aspect of the patellar tendon resulting in histological focal degeneration.
		The radiographs were analysed to determine the morphology of the inferior pole of the patellar and the spatial relationship during flexion.
		It was apparent that the majority of the patellar tendon did not insert into the inferior pole of the patella but continues over the anterior cortex.

	Patellar Tendonitis - Jumper's Knee
		Before we discuss what patellar tendonitis is, it is important to have a general understanding of the structures that make up the knee joint.
		On occasion you may hear of this structure being referred to as the patellar tendon, but for the purposes of anatomy and physiology this structure is a ligament, as it attaches the patella (knee cap) to the tibia (shin bone).
		As with all cases of tendonitis, patella tendonitis is simply the inflammation, degeneration or rupture of the patellar ligament and the tissue that surround it, leading to pain and discomfort in the area just below the knee cap.

	Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic: Injury: Patellar Tendonitis
		Patellar tendonitis is an irritation or inflammation of the major tendon in front of the knee.
		An inflamed patellar tendon causes pain during flexion or extension of the lower leg and limits mobility of the joint.
		Tendonitis usually occurs from repetitive motions that cause the tendon to become inflamed when it is exercised beyond its normal capacity.

	Patellar Tendinitis
		Patellar tendinitis or "jumper's knee" is a condition resulting from overuse of the knee.
		The patellar tendon is a structure that attaches the quadriceps muscle group to the tibia (shin bone).
		The patellar tendon is also referred to as the patellar ligament; some anatomists believe that since this structure connects the patella to tibia it should be classified as a ligament.

	Tendonitis
		Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon, usually caused by repetitive minor trauma -- in other words, you create a lot of tiny strains within the tendon, then your body attacks the injured area with inflammatory cells.
		This is an inflammation of the tendon band that crosses the outer side of the knee.
		The tendon is weakened by repeated sudden forced upward bending of the foot, such as occurs when the bike rotates upward suddenly riding through a short sharp dip.

	Team Clinic
		Patellar tendonitis (also called "jumper's knee") occurs when the quadriceps muscles are overused or inflexible.
		When quadriceps are overused, the patellar tendon has to absorb more of the shock created by movement.
		If the quadriceps are inflexible, the patellar tendon has to withstand more friction during movement.

	Tendonitis/Tendinitis Information
		A tendon is the end part of a muscle that attaches the muscle to the bone.
		The initial approach to treating tendonitis is to support and protect the tendons by bracing any areas of the tendon that are being pulled on during use.
		During the sub-acute and chronic phases of Tendonitis, more aggressive stretches can be performed, however, it should be noted that stretches should focus on the muscle belly and not attempt to lengthen the affected tendon.
