Abstract
Jumper's knee usually affects the patellar tendon and its proximal insertion. It is an overuse syndrome that can lead to anatomical modifications on bone and tendon tissues. Clinical examination show two elective pain sites: the tip of the patella and the central third of the patellar tendon. These signs can be emphasized with ultrasonographic imaging which can demonstrate bone and intratendinous lesions and their extent. If conservative treatments fail, surgery can be discussed. Excision of irreversible lesions provides good results.
