Entesopathy of the quadriceps tendon is commonly referred to as" runner's knee " because of the predominant prevalence of this disease among athletes-runners.
This is one of the most common injuries in sports. As is typical for most injuries caused by overuse, entesopathy of the quadriceps tendon develops in three stages:
With age, as a result of overexertion, the tendon fibers degenerate and weaken. Some fibers wear out, some tear, and eventually the tendon loses its strength. The body tries to somehow restore strength to the tendon and with the help of scar tissue, the tendon thickens. As a result, areas of altered tissue are formed instead of tendon tissue. This condition is called tendinitis or tendinosis. Such areas are much weaker than healthy areas and often painful.
If you treat it in time and correctly, you can be cured completely.
