Jumper’s knee or patellar tendonitis is caused by sudden jumping movements during running, skipping or climbing. You can be prone to it if your BMI is on the higher side of your hip and knee muscles are not strong or flexible to bear weight.
Your surgeon will thoroughly diagnose your knee to recommend the right knee treatment. Typically, the symptoms of jumpers’ knees subside with conservative treatment such as RICE methods, NSAIDs, braces, or physical therapy.
However, if knee tendons or especially patellar tendons are injured, you may be indicated a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to repair the patellar tendon.
