Patellar tendon injuries
Patellar tendon injuries are very common
in jumping sports like basketball and volleyball but also occur in football
players. The most common injury is generally called patellar tendinitis
although this term is losing favour as the 'itis' suffix denotes an inflammatory
condition and this injury is now considered to not be caused by excessive
inflammation. Patellar tendinopathy is a better term.
If you have an
patellar tendon injury please download the
linked Acrobat .pdf form to assess your current pain levels.
