This condition develops when the patellar tendon becomes inflamed and painful after receiving some repetitive stress.
The pain will be felt somewhere around the lower part of the patella and the beginning of the shin.
This injury is also known as Jumper’s Knee as it is common in athletes who practice lots of jumps and landing: runners, basket-ball or volleyball players, gymnasts…; but it could also affect non athletes.
