Patellar tendonitis is an overuse injury of the tendon connecting the patella (knee cap) to the tibia bone below. It is caused by repetitive jumping, kicking, running or plyometric movements that exert force on the knee. Symptoms include tenderness and pain below the knee before, during and after activity. Treatment involves rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, bracing and physical therapy exercises. Prevention through strength training of the quadriceps muscles and allowing for rest days can help avoid this overuse injury.

Chondromalacia patellae
Chondromalacia patellae is a condition that causes pain behind or around the kneecap. It occurs when the soft cartilage underneath the kneecap wears down over time. The document discusses this common knee condition and is written by Dr. Rachita Hada, an orthopedic physical therapist and lecturer at C.M. Patel College of Physiotherapy.
Pre and post operative management in tendon transfer
Tendon transfer is a surgical procedure that moves a tendon from one location to another to restore function lost due to nerve damage or injury. The document discusses pre and post-operative physiotherapy management for tendon transfers in the hand. Key points include indications for tendon transfers when nerve recovery is unlikely, prerequisites like full range of motion, and post-operative goals like protecting the transferred tendon and regaining range of motion. Specific procedures are described to address radial, ulnar and median nerve palsies. Post-operative splinting and rehabilitation protocols aim to protect the transfer initially and progress to strengthening.
Acl graft fixation options
The document discusses graft fixation options in ACL reconstruction. It notes that fixation is the weakest link in the early postoperative period and that tibial fixation carries a greater risk of failure. Interference screws provide the gold standard for fixation but tunnel widening remains a concern. The ideal fixation is strong, stiff, and secure to avoid graft slippage and interference with healing while allowing revision. Aperture fixation and hybrid techniques may improve outcomes over suspensory fixation alone. Rehabilitation must also account for the biomechanical strengths and weaknesses of the fixation method used.

6 common overuse injuries in sports
Overuse injuries account for roughly a quarter of all sports injuries and are caused by repetitive strain from overexerting muscles without proper technique or rest. Common overuse injuries include patellofemoral pain (runner's knee), shin splints, rotator cuff tendinitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and hip flexor strains, which often plague areas that absorb the most stress from movement. To avoid overuse injuries, athletes should stretch, cool down properly after exercise, and take at least two rest days per week to allow the body to recover and rebuild. Full recovery from an overuse injury requires rest and avoiding the aggravating activity along with consulting a doctor if pain or swelling persists.

Knee pain
Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal issue that has many potential causes. The knee is a complex joint involving bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bursae that work together to allow bending and weight bearing. Common causes of knee pain include injury, overuse, and arthritis. Initial treatment involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE) and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. Seeking medical attention is recommended if pain persists after a week of home treatment or if symptoms indicate a potential fracture or infection like inability to bear weight, fever, or drainage from the knee. Doctors evaluate knee pain through history, exam, and may order imaging tests or arthroscopy to diagnose the underlying cause
Osteoarthritis by Dr. K. A Rana -2.pptx
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by destruction of articular cartilage and formation of new bone at joint surfaces. There are two types: primary osteoarthritis, which is more common and has no known cause, usually affecting older adults; and secondary osteoarthritis, which has a known underlying cause like obesity or previous joint injury. Treatment focuses on decreasing symptoms and slowing progression through physical therapy, bracing/splinting, medications, and potentially total knee replacement surgery for severe cases.

5 tips to prevent knee pain
The knee is the largest joint in the body. The upper and lower bones of the knee are separated by two discs (menisci). The upper leg bone (femur) and the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) are connected by ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
Knee pain is a special problem for athletes -- over half of all athletes endure it every year. Some of the most common reasons for knee pain are swollen or torn ligaments, meniscus (cartilage) tears, and runner's knee. But the knee is a complex joint, and there's plenty more that can go wrong.

Achilles Tendon Rupture.pptx
This document discusses Achilles tendon injuries and ankle sprains. It describes symptoms of an Achilles tear such as pain and inability to bend the foot. Causes include sudden increases in stress from sports or falls. Treatment options are nonsurgical with casting or surgery to stitch the tendon. Rehab includes physical therapy. Ankle sprains occur when ligaments are stretched from twists or rolls and can vary in severity. RICE treatment includes rest, ice, compression and elevation. Prevention focuses on warmups, conditioning, and wearing proper footwear.
Sports massage sydney - Shin splints
Shin splints are injuries to the front of the outer leg. They are medically known as Tenoperiostitis of the shin, meaning inflammation to the tendon and muscle tissue attached to the bone. Shin splints belong to a group of injuries called overuse injuries. They occur most commonly in runners.
The pain associated with shin splints is a result of fatigue or trauma to the muscle tissue surrounding the tibia. In an effort to keep the foot, ankle and lower leg stable, the muscles exert a great force on the tibia. The result is an inflammatory response.
There are many causes of shin splints, but they most commonly occur in cases of overuse or overload training and poor biomechanics...

Patellar Tendonitis
- 1. Patellar Tendonitis The knee is a joint that is sure to suffer from overuse injuries due to its anatomy. The knee absorbs forces from both the hip and ankle joints. Over the next few blogs we’ll take a look at some of the more common overuse injuries in the knee starting with patellar tendonitis. Patellar Tendonitis is characterized by inflammation of the tendon that stabilizes the patella and the insertions of the quadricep muscles. Patellar Tendonitis, commonly called jumper’s or kicker’s knee is brought about by repeated jumping; kicking; running; or plyometric(explosive, fast, repetitive jumping movements) that exert force on the knee. Other causes of Patellar Tendonitis are wearing worn down shoes; lack of strength in the quadricep muscles; overweight(which causes general knee pain); and lack or rest days. Some of the signs of Patellar Tendonitis include: tenderness towards the bottom of the knee; pain before; during; after activity, and in extreme cases pain before; during; AND after activity. Athletes can also experience continuous pain around the bottom of the knee. Once you recognize the signs of patellar tendonitis it is important to cease all exercising that will apply pressure to your knee; this includes but is not limited to running; jumping; and plyometric exercises. If you stop exercising and start again too soon you risk rupturing your tendon. Ruptured Patellar Tendon occurs when there has been an inflammation injury(Paterllar Tendonitis) for an extended period of time. Because surgery is the only treatment for this injury it is important to rest your lower body after being diagnosed with Patellar Tendonitis. Treatment techniques for Patellar Tendonitis include: ice; rest; ibuprofen or tylenol for pain; a knee brace; and whirlpool or other heat modalities for relaxation.
- 2. Prevention is the best treatment of patellar tendonitis. One method of prevention is resistance training. Exercises to incorporate into your resistance training program to decrease your risk of injury include: front and side lunges; front squats; knee/leg extensions; wall sits; and straight leg raises;. The lunges; squats; extensions; and curls should be done bilaterally as well as isolaterally. These exercises can be done with your body weight and advanced to use weights in the gym. It’s also a smart idea to have a pair of running shoes and a separate pair of shoes to perform resistance training. If you’re a hard core athlete; runner; or beginner it is smart to incorporate rest days that include the swimming pool. The pool is both relaxing and therapeutic. In conclusion Patellar Tendonitis is not something to be taken lightly. If you believe you’re experiencing symptoms try to get to your physician immediately. Also be sure to stop any activity that will apply pressure to your knee. I also wouldn’t engage in digesting any pain relief medications until after a physician’s visit. Remember it is quite alright to work your upper body and core during this time. This makes it easier to continue a workout routine. **Have a healthy day**
