Understanding patellar tendonopathy: Insights and solutions
In his latest online article, Mr Ben Spiegelberg gives us his insights into patellar tendonopathy. Patellar tendonopathy is a prevalent knee condition that impacts the patellar tendon, linking the patella to the tibia. This crucial tendon is an integral part of the extensor mechanism responsible for straightening the knee during activities like walking, running, and jumping. The primary culprit behind this condition is often repetitive jumping, leading to minuscule tears within the tendon that fail to heal, transforming into a chronic injury.
