Patellar tendinitis
A tendon is the end of a muscle or group of muscles. Tendons attach muscle groups to bones and generate all the movement of the body. Some tendons are prone to inflammation. When tendons become inflamed, it can be difficult to stop that inflammation. Chronic inflammation can damage tendons. This is called tendinosis.
The patellar tendon connects the kneecap to the top of the shin bone or tibia. This tendon commonly becomes inflamed because of overuse in young athletes. Microscopic tears begin to develop which are not given adequate time for healing. This can go on to become tendinosis.
Treatment Options
Diagnosis of this condition is accomplished by physical exam and routine X-rays. MRI scans or other advanced imaging studies are NOT usually needed for this.
Treatment is non-surgical. Rest, ice, elevation, and compression are usually indicated for patellar tendonitis. A course of anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy is recommended as well. Injection of steroids in this tendon is NOT recommended as it can lead to weakening and rupture of this tendon.

Dr. Bishop and his team got me in last minute after my referral got lost between my PCP and their office. The front desk was polite and helpful. Their paperwork was minimal. X rays were quick and waiting time in the room was minimal before Dr. Bishop came in. He explained everything clearly and have me a copy of all of his recommendations before asking me to schedule a follow-up visit.
Dr. Bishop and the staff at Cascade Orthopedics have been professional, courteous, and the surgery that I just had went extremely well. I couldn’t ask for better results.
Dr. Cary Sanders is a very knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. He explains things very well. I highly recommend him. The office staff is very friendly and helpful also. Ben Baird is also top notch and has given me numerous cortisone and lubricant injections on my knee. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Bishop and he has our highest recommendation also.
Dr. Sanders has been seeing me regarding my knee for the past 4 years. After all the years of dealing with knee pain and injection shots, it has been agreed that it is time to get a knee replacement. Dr. Sanders and his staff are incredible.
Everyone was great. Hardly any wait time. The doctor was very knowledgeable and drew a picture of what’s going on in my elbow. Received a shot, it’s feeling better already. Definitely refer anyone that needs an orthopedic doctor.
My little guy got the best care here after breaking his arm on the trampoline. We seen Benjamin Baird, PA, and were impressed with his genuine interest and kid approved humor. We hope we aren’t back anytime soon, but if there are any more breaks, we’d choose Cascade again.
Dr. Brandon Bishop and the Team at Cascade Orthopedic were exceptional to work with. From the first appointment, to my surgery and to the last appointment, they treated me with compassion and professionalism. I have recommended Dr. Bishop to my friends and will continue to recommend him.
Dr. Sanders, from Cascade Orthopedic Specialists, did a much needed right kbee replacement for me in October 31, 2024. I received top level care from their staff, both pre-op and post-op. Hospital care and treatment at Mercy was excellent. Rehab at Theropy Plus was painful for the first two weeks, but healing came quickly. I now have great range of motion and living pain free with my new knee. Thank you, everyone.
