Knee Injury & Pain Types:

Patella Tendonitis – AKA Jumpers Knees

The patella tendon is located between the patella (kneecap) and the bony prominence on the shin known as the tibial tuberosity.

Due to its attachment locations the patella tendon helps to carry out a kicking motion, as it allows the force from the quadriceps muscles to cross the knee joint.

Patella tendonitis occurs when the tendon becomes irritated and inflamed. This condition is also known as ‘jumper’s knee’ as it is most commonly seen in athletes who jump repeatedly.

Patella Tendonitis – Causes

It is caused by repetitive overload of the tendon, where the body cannot heal the small damage unless the aggravating activity is stopped.

Patella tendonitis usually presents with pain over the tendon itself. It can be tender and swollen and crepitis or ‘crunching’ may be noticed upon activity. Aggravating activities include jumping, kneeling or kicking.

Patella Tendonitis – Common Knee Injury Treatment

A common recommendation is the RICE-protocol (rest, ice, compression, elevation).

It is important to rest during this condition and to eliminate aggravating activities so that healing can begin. Pain and swelling can be decreased with an icing regime, or non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be recommended by your osteopath.

After progressing with treatment it is important to strengthen the quadriceps muscles and associated tendons by completing eccentric muscle strengthening programmes.
