Jumper's Knee. Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee is an inflammation of the patellar tendon that connects your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. This tendon helps in extension of the lower leg.
Physiology. The patellar ligament plays an important role in the function of the knee joint and the lower limb as a whole. Contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle group pulls the patella proximally toward the thigh through the quadriceps tendon.t crosses the knee anterior to the joint capsule to insert to the tibial tuberosity of the tibia. The tendons of the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles run parallel to the patellar ligament to connect these muscles to the tibia.
