  2. Patellar tendon rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_tendon_rupture

    The upper part of the patellar tendon attaches on the lower part of the knee cap, and the lower part of the patella tendon attaches to the tibial tubercle on the front of the tibia. Above the knee cap, the quadriceps muscle via the quadriceps tendon attaches to the top of the knee cap. This structure allows the knee to flex and extend, allowing ...

  3. Medial patellofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_patellofemoral_ligament

    If the injury to the ligament is left untreated, it may be able to heal on its own, but likely in a loosened or lengthened position. This leaves the patella vulnerable to repeated dislocation in the future. In turn, repeated dislocations can lead to tearing cartilage in the knee. Once damaged, there is increased risk of patellofemoral arthritis ...

    Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, is an overuse injury of the tendon that straightens the knee. [1] Symptoms include pain in the front of the knee. [1] Typically the pain and tenderness is at the lower part of the kneecap, though the upper part may also be affected. [2] Generally there is no pain when the person is at rest. [2]

    Medial knee injuries (those to the inside of the knee) are the most common type of knee injury. [1] The medial ligament complex of the knee consists of: [2] superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL), also called the medial collateral ligament (MCL) or tibial collateral ligament; deep medial collateral ligament (dMCL), or mid-third medial ...

    The tendon can be surgically repaired. Afterwards a brace is given that prevents flexion of the knee. Athletes who have had this injury generally return to action in about 9 months to a year. [citation needed]

  7. Patellar tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_tendon

    The patellar tendon is a strong, flat ligament, which originates on the apex of the patella distally and adjoining margins of the patella and the rough depression on its posterior surface; below, it inserts on the tuberosity of the tibia; its superficial fibers are continuous over the front of the patella with those of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibular_collateral_ligament

    Symptoms of a sprain or tear of the LCL includes pain to the lateral aspect of the knee, instability of the knee when walking, swelling and ecchymosis (bruising) at the site of trauma. Direct trauma to the medial aspect of the knee may also affect the peroneal nerve, which could result in a foot drop or paresthesias below the knee which could ...

  9. Tendinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendinopathy

    Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
