Article Excerpts about Knee tendinitis
Knee tendon injuries range from tendinitis (inflammation
of a tendon) to a ruptured (torn) tendon. If a person overuses a tendon
during certain activities such as dancing, cycling, or running, the
tendon stretches like a worn-out rubber band and becomes inflamed. Also,
trying to break a fall may cause the quadriceps muscles to contract and
tear the quadriceps tendon above the patella or the patellar tendon
below the patella. This type of injury is most likely to happen in older
people whose tendons tend to be weaker. Tendinitis of the patellar
tendon is sometimes called jumper's knee because in sports that require
jumping, such as basketball, the muscle contraction and force of hitting
the ground after a jump strain the tendon. After repeated stress, the
tendon may become inflamed or tear.
