Lecturer & Consultant of Orthopedic Surgery (Faculty of Medicine) | Specialist in Knee & Shoulder Surgery
Patellar Tendonitis is an inflammation or injury of the patellar tendon, the tough tissue that connects your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. It is incredibly common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — like basketball, volleyball, or CrossFit.
Dr. Mohamed Labib relies on a staggered protocol that prioritizes non-surgical intervention for tendinopathy:
Eccentric strengthening exercises (e.g., decline squats) to remodel the tendon fibers under tension.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections utilize your own blood's growth factors to stimulate tendon healing directly at the microscopic tear site.
Acoustic waves sent to the tendon to break up scar tissue and promote new blood vessel growth.
For severe, chronic cases failing all conservative treatment, arthroscopic or open surgical debridement of the damaged tendon tissue is performed.
Book a consultation with Dr. Labib and get a professional assessment at JointCure Clinic, New Cairo.
Continuing to play through the pain can cause the microscopic tears to worsen, potentially leading to a complete rupture of the patellar tendon.
No. Cortisone injections around the weight-bearing patellar tendon are generally avoided as they can weaken the tendon structure and increase the risk of rupture.
