“…A number of authors have described open surgical techniques to treat patients unresponsive to nonoperative treatment [2,4,6,9,11,14] to partially remove the patellar tendon, open the peritenon, and remove or drill the patellar pole. More recently, arthroscopically assisted procedures [3,8,12] have been reported that focus on tendon débri-dement.…”

Background Patellar tendinopathy is a common source of pain in athletes, especially those involved in sports with a high incidence of jumping and cutting. Changes in training programs and exercises based on eccentric quadriceps contractions often relieve patients' symptoms. For athletes unresponsive to this treatment, some authors suggest open and arthroscopic procedures débriding either the tendon alone, or the tendon and bone. Questions/purposes We asked whether an arthroscopically assisted approach to débride not only the tendon, bone, but also the peritenon could relieve pain and allow athletes to return to their former activities. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with a history of at least 6 months of painful patellar tendinopathy unresponsive to nonoperative treatment treated with an arthroscopic technique that débrided the tendon, inferior pole of the patella, and peritenon: 22 males and one female. Mean age was 29 years. Patients were evaluated using the anterior knee pain score of Kujala et al. The minimum followup was 12 months (mean, 58 months; range, 12-121 months). Results Twelve patients scored 100, one 99, one 98, five 97, two 94, one 90, and one 64. The Kujala et al. mean score was 96 (range, 64

“…Classificação -A classificação de Blazina pode ser usada na tendinopatia patelar (31) . Roels et al modificaram a classificação de Blazina (32) . Essa classificação divide a dor em quatro graus: grau I -dor leve após atividade física; grau II -dor no início da atividade física, melhora após o aquecimento, piora no final do exercício, sem diminuição do rendimento; grau IIIdor durante e após a atividade física com piora importante do rendimento do atleta; grau IV -ruptura parcial ou total do tendão.…”

RESUMOA tendinopatia do patelar ou jumper's knee (joelho do saltador) é uma afecção que acomete freqüen-temente atletas praticantes de atividades de salto ou aquelas que exigem força de impacto repetitivo. Histologicamente, a sobrecarga excessiva no tendão pode provocar alterações na matriz extracelular, resultando em pequenas lesões que, cronicamente, poderão levar a um quadro de tendinose, principalmente na região do pólo inferior da patela. A dor na região anterior do joelho é o primeiro sintoma relatado pelo paciente portador dessa afecção. Seu início é insidioso e gradual, principalmente após atividade física, mas, com a progressão da doença, pode tornar-se freqüente durante ou já no início da

Abstract. [Purpose] There are no recent studies investigating the incidence of jumper's knee and knee contusions in volleyball players. A lack of understanding of knee contusions suffered by players (liberos) receiving the ball has lead doctors to diagnose jumper's knee. There have been no studies distinguishing between jumper's knee and knee contusions, which present similar symptoms. The purpose of this study was to investigate and correlate the two conditions of jumper's knee and knee contusions. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-one female volleyball players were assessed for their maximum jumping power, body weight, whether they performed broad (slide) spikes, and whether they often hit their knees and so on.[Results] Jumper's knee was found in either or both knees of 12 (57%) of 21 spikers. For knee contusions, symptoms were found in 5 of the 10 liberos and setters, who were confirmed to actually hit their knees by observing videotapes of their practice.[Conclusion] Symptoms resembling jumper's knee were discovered in 4 of 6 liberos. It was difficult to distinguish between jumper's knee and knee contusions in terms of their symptoms, except through observation of the players' actual performance. It is important to discriminate between the two conditions clinically for treatment (including physical therapy) and prevention.
