Managing patellar tendinopathy is a job for physicians trained in the care of musculoskeletal conditions along with other members of the interprofessional healthcare team. Sports medicine physicians, physiatrists, and rheumatologists provide the first line of care. Orthopedic surgeons are consulted for refractory cases or when the knee extensor tendons are partially or completely torn. An interprofessional team of professionals from multiple disciplines, including athletic trainers, physical therapists, sports biomechanists, and sports psychologists, is needed since the condition commonly affects athletes. The orthopedic specialty nurse is often responsible for coordinating care and follow-up and reporting concerns to the clinician. All professionals on the care team must keep accurate, updated records and openly communicate with other team members as needed. Currently, there is no widely accepted gold standard diagnostic technique. [17]Ultrasound offers several advantages; it is time and cost-saving, non-invasive, repeatable, and accurate, and provides a dynamic image of the knee structures. [2]Both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to detect abnormalities in the patellar tendon itself. Imaging can also be used to guide clinicians as to the severity of the pathology. [18] Visentini PJ, Khan KM, Cook JL, Harcourt PR, Kiss ZS, Wark JD, et al.

Scand J Med Sci Sports 10(4):216–220 Multiple theories have been proposed for the pathogenesis of patellar tendinopathy, mechanical, vascular, and impingement related. However, the chronic overload theory is the most commonly reported. Repetitive overload on the knee extensor tendons will cause it to weaken progressively, eventually leading to failure. Microscopic failure occurs within the tendon at high loads and eventually leads to alterations at the cellular level, which undermine its mechanical properties. Tendon micro-trauma may cause individual fibril degeneration due to stress across the tendon. As the fibril degeneration becomes ongoing, chronic tendinopathy will ensue.

Most patients with jumper's knee are managed through medical and rehabilitative treatment in the initial stages of the disease. [22]Early recognition and diagnosis of jumper's knee are vital as they can have a progressive course. Although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used traditionally, these have recently become less judicious as more physicians have come to realize that the disease is not inflammatory. Hence, NSAIDs may not provide a significant long-term benefit in tendinopathy. [4]Corticosteroid injections are contraindicated as they bear a risk of patellar tendon rupture.

Am J Sports Med 36(3):451–460, Epub 2007 Dec 13 Rudavsky and Cook say thatthe process of returning to sports play is slow. This process is often dependent on various factors ranging from the severity of pain, grade of dysfunction, the sport practiced, the quality of rehabilitation, the athlete's performance level, and the presence ofintrinsic and extrinsic factors. [7]A previous studythat used imaging technology to classify the severity of the lesion said thatmild pathologies might take anywhere from 20 days for the patient to return to sport, whereas more severe cases might take 90 days. [36]Other experts mention that athletes with severe dysfunction might need anywhere from 6 to 12 months to recover. Lang and coworkers published a study where they analyzed patients who were treated surgically (arthroscopic patellar release). They determined that the mean time to return to play was 4.03 plus or minus 3.18 months. [37] Biedert R, Vogel U, Friedrichs NF. (1997) Chronic patellar tendinitis: a new surgical treatment.
