Patellar tendon injuries constitute a significant problem in a wide variety of sports [1-4]. Despite the morbidity associated with patellar tendinopathy, clinical management remains largely anecdotal [5] as there have few well-designed treatment studies.This chapter will update the reader on management of 1) the patient with overuse patellar tendinopathy, and 2) the patient unfortunate enough to suffer the less common, but debilitating, condition of patellar tendon rupture.
