Proximal patellar tendon pathology can develop during adolescence in young ballet dancers-A 2-year longitudinal study

Authors A Rudavsky, J L Cook, S Docking Publisher Scand J Med Sci Sports . 2018 Sep; 28(9):2035-2041 Publishing detail PMID: 29658150 Abstract Patellar tendinopathy (tendon pain and dysfunction), or jumper's knee, is prevalent in adult jumping athletes. Pathology in the proximal patellar tendon is a key risk factor for developing patellar tendinopathy. When pathology develops in…

Increased damaged fibers (echo-type III and IV) of both tendons were found among the control group, yet not among soldiers who performed prevention exercises.

Authors Silvia Ortega Cebrian, Ramon Navarro, Sergi Seda, Sebastià Salas Publisher International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) Nov. 2021 18(22):12156 Publishing detail PMID: 34831912 Abstract Background: While there is evidence that tendon adapts to training load, structural alterations in the patellar tendon in response to training loads are still unclear. The aim…
