Ligament laxity …

The Knee Resource | Patellar Tendinopathy

Overview. Patellar tendinopathy classically presents as pain at the inferior pole of the patella and is particularly common in sports that involve jumping/landing or sudden changes of direction. Patellar tendinopathy is thought to develop when the tendon is loaded beyond its capacity and can be diagnosed using a combination of patient history ...
