There are 2 types of tendonitis,acute and chronic. Acute quadriceps tendonitis refers to inflammation that comes on suddenly, usually from a tendon strain or overloading it during exercise. Chronic quadriceps tendonitis occurs over time and generally results from long term repetitive use of the quad...
painand swelling in the area below the kneecap. This is a repetitive injury problem as well, where damage occurs to the tendon causing acute inflammation. orjumper's kneeis an overuse injury where microtears occur in the area where the quadriceps tendon inserts into the top or bottom of the...
In contrast, tendons are active structures responsible for joint motion as part of the muscle-tendon-bone complex and operate in more of the ‘linear’ region (∼50–80%) of their stress-strain curves. Finally, another variable which needs to be factored into the tissue engineering approach ...
A moderate or (grade II) strain, which is a tearing of fibers in a muscle or tendon or at the attachment to the bone. Strength is diminished. A severe or (grade III strain), which is a rupture of the muscle tendon-bone attachment, with separation of fibers. A severe strain may requi...
A Patient's Guide to Quadriceps Tendonitis of the Knee Introduction Alignment or overuse problems of the knee structures can lead to strain, irritation, and/or injury of the quadriceps muscle and tendon. Quadriceps tendonitis produces pain, weakness, and
and hip motion. The quadriceps muscle group is susceptible to both overuse injury (tendinopathies, strains) and severe injury (tendon tears, compartment syndrome). Severe injury in the quadriceps is rare, but it is important to have a high index of suspicion for timely diagnosis and treatment...

of the quadriceps injuries are treated conservatively with good results. However, there are several indications for operative treatment, such as quadriceps tendon rupture or complete proximal rectus femoris avulsion with clear retraction. In professional athletes, surgical treatment is recommended more often...
Treatment has two objectives: to reduce the inflammation and to allow the tendon to heal. When the knee is painful and swollen, you must rest it. Avoid stair climbing and jumping sports. Keep your knee straight while sitting, andavoid squatting. ...
