Hi, folks. My friend went to hospital for examination since he had some injury. I think that he is diagnosed with patella tendinitis. I must admit that I haven’t heard about this diagnosis before. I would appreciate if someone could tell me something more about this. Thanks in advance. Bye, folks!

Hi, there. Patellar tendinitis is an inflammation of patellar tendon. This tendon connects patella with your shinbone. This tendon is very important in extending your leg. This is a function very important in all movements. You especially activate it when kicking balls, pushing pedals, etc. It is very common within athletes who jump like volleyball, soccer or basketball. That is why this condition is also known as jumper’s knee. However, people who do not jump often also can be affected by patellar tendinitis. I hope this helps. Bye!

Hello. My friend who practices volleyball has been diagnosed with patellar tendinitis. It all started with pain. It appears on the beginning of each practice. Later, it started to appear after every work out as well. When he tried to intensify his exercise, pain increased as well. As far as I know, first a conservative method is recommended. I hope your friend will be all right. Good luck! Bye!
