Abstract

Patellar tendon injury secondary to overuse represents a failure of soft tissue healing that can lead to chronic symptoms. Clinical staging of this process is helpful in the initial management. Diagnostic imaging can help define the character of the injury as well as localized pathology. Initial treatment of clinical stages I, II, and III is conservative.
