About Knee Tendinitis

Knee tendinitis in pediatric orthopedics refers to the inflammation or irritation of the tendons surrounding a child's knee, most commonly affecting the patellar tendon (jumper's knee) or the quadriceps tendon. This condition is often an overuse injury seen in active children and adolescents involved in sports that involve running, jumping, or rapid direction changes. Pediatric orthopedic specialists focus on accurate diagnosis to differentiate it from other growth-related issues like Osgood-Schlatter disease. Treatment is overwhelmingly non-surgical, emphasizing rest, activity modification, physical therapy, and targeted strengthening. The goal is to relieve pain, restore full function, and educate young patients on injury prevention to ensure safe participation in physical activities and healthy musculoskeletal development.

Key Highlights

Specialized, age-appropriate care focused on a child's growing musculoskeletal system.Emphasis on non-invasive, conservative treatments like physical therapy and activity modification.Prevents long-term complications and promotes safe return to sports and play.Education for both child and parents on injury prevention and proper biomechanics.Management considers the child's growth plates to avoid affecting normal development.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent knee pain, especially below the kneecap, worsened by activity.
Pain and tenderness at the site of the patellar or quadriceps tendon attachment.
Swelling or stiffness in the knee, particularly after sports or physical play.
Diagnosis of overuse injury in an active child or adolescent athlete.
Failure of initial rest and home care to resolve symptoms after several weeks.
To rule out other pediatric conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease or Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome.

How to prepare

Medical history review, including details of the child's sports activities and pain patterns.
A thorough physical examination of the knee, assessing range of motion, strength, and tenderness.
Diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound or MRI may be ordered to confirm tendinitis and assess severity.
Discussion with the child and parents about the treatment plan, expectations, and the importance of compliance.
No specific surgical preparation is typically needed as treatment is primarily conservative.

Risks & possible complications

Progression of injury if activity is not properly modified, potentially leading to tendon tear.
Chronic pain or weakness if not adequately treated.
Complications from corticosteroid injections (rarely used in children), including skin discoloration or tendon weakening.
In very rare, severe cases requiring surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, nerve injury, or anesthesia reactions.
Potential for recurrence if underlying biomechanical issues or training errors are not addressed.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial phase focuses on rest, ice application, compression, and elevation (RICE protocol).
Structured physical therapy to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and correct movement patterns.
Gradual, guided return to sports and activities, often over several weeks to months.
Use of supportive braces or kinesiology tape as recommended by the specialist.
Education on proper warm-up, cool-down, and training techniques to prevent re-injury.
Regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust the rehabilitation plan.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient care)
Expected recovery time: 4 to 12 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Anjali Joshi is a 14-year-old competitive...

Anjali Joshi is a 14-year-old competitive classical dancer (Bharatanatyam). For six months, she experienced a persistent, sharp pain just below her right kneecap, especially during jumps and deep pliés. Initially dismissed as growing pains, it worsened to the point where she couldn't complete her dance recital. An orthopedic exam and ultrasound confirmed patellar tendinitis ('Jumper's Knee'). The doctor recommended a course of focused shockwave therapy, a non-invasive procedure to stimulate healing in the tendon. Anjali was anxious about needles or surgery, so she was relieved by the non-surgical approach. The treatment involved three short sessions over three weeks; she felt a deep, tapping sensation but minimal pain. Combined with a tailored physiotherapy program to correct her landing technique, she was back to light practice in 6 weeks and full strength in 4 months. Emotionally, she went from fearing the end of her dance dreams to feeling empowered by understanding her body's limits and learning proper biomechanics. She returned to the stage with renewed confidence and a deeper appreciation for her art.
