Rough distribution of areas affected by PFPS highlighted in red: patella and distal femur. Specialty: Orthopedics, sports medicine: Symptoms: Pain in the front of the knee [1] Usual onset: Gradual [2] Causes: Unclear [1 ...
The patellar tendon attaches the anterior quadriceps muscles to the tibia via the knee cap. [11] Intense knee pain is usually the presenting symptom that occurs during activities such as running, jumping, lifting things, squatting, and especially ascending or descending stairs and during kneeling. [12] The pain is worse with acute knee impact.
Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, [1] named after Swedish surgeon Sven Christian Johansson (1880-1959), [2] and Christian Magnus Falsen Sinding-Larsen (1866-1930), [3] a Norwegian physician, is apophysitis of the inferior pole of the patella. It is analogous to Osgood–Schlatter disease which involves the upper margin of the tibia. This ...
Chondromalacia patellae (also known as CMP) is an inflammation of the underside of the patella and softening of the cartilage.. The cartilage under the kneecap is a natural shock absorber, and overuse, injury, and many other factors can cause increased deterioration and breakdown of the cartilage.
Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of the prepatellar bursa at the front of the knee. It is marked by swelling at the knee, which can be tender to the touch and which generally does not restrict the knee's range of motion. It can be extremely painful and disabling as long as the underlying condition persists.
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.

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.
