Jumpers Knee
Patellar tendonitis, often referred to as “jumper’s knee,” is a painful condition that affects the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone (tibia). This condition primarily affects athletes, especially those involved in jumping sports like basketball and volleyball, but it can also occur in individuals who engage in repetitive activities that strain the knee joint. The pain associated with jumper’s knee can be debilitating, hindering your ability to participate in sports and even affecting daily activities like walking and climbing stairs
