| Abstract: | Patellar tendinitis is an overuse syndrome affecting the origin of the patellar tendon and its underlying part. Ultrasonography is useful to investigate tendinous pathology. It describes the anatomical lesions and their extent. Surgical excision of irreversible lesions, demonstrated on ultrasonography, is a logical attitude which provides good results. |
