Jumper's knee, also known as patellar tendonitis, is a condition characterized by inflammation of your patellar tendon.
Tendinitis is an acutely inflamed swollen tendon that doesn't have microscopic tendon damage. The underlying culprit in tendinitis is inflammation. Tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with disorganized fibers and a hard, thickened, scarred and rubbery appearance.

The patellar tendon is the distal portion of the common tendon of the quadriceps femoris, which is continued from the patella to the tibial tuberosity. It is also sometimes called the patellar ligament as it forms a bone to bone connection when the patella is fully ossified.
The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). When a structure connects one bone to another, it is actually a ligament, so the patellar tendon is sometimes called the patellar ligament. The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscles by the quadriceps tendon.

Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee, is most common in athletes whose sports involve frequent jumping — such as basketball and volleyball.
Despite its name, the patellar tendon is actually a ligament. Tendons connect a muscle to a bone. Ligaments connect two muscles. The patellar tendon provides stability, holding bones together.
Patellar tendonitis comes from repetitive stress on the knee, most often from overuse in sports or exercise. The repetitive stress on the knee creates tiny tears in the tendon that, over time, inflame and weaken the tendon. Contributing factors can be: tight leg muscles.
If the tendon becomes inflamed, it's called quadriceps tendinitis or quadriceps tendinopathy. It's sometimes spelled as tendonitis, too. It's often a result of repetitive movements like jumping or kneeling. This overuse leads to tiny tears, which cause pain and swelling.
Jumper's knee usually involves the attachment of the kneecap tendon to the lower kneecap pole. Jumper's knee refers to functional stress overload due to jumping.
Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa in the front of the kneecap (patella). It occurs when the bursa becomes irritated and produces too much fluid, which causes it to swell and put pressure on the adjacent parts of the knee. (Left) Normal knee anatomy shown from the side.
Knee bursae Knee bursitis is inflammation or irritation of one or more of the bursae in your knee. Knee bursitis is inflammation of a small fluid-filled sac (bursa) situated near your knee joint. Bursae reduce friction and cushion pressure points between your bones and the tendons, muscles and skin near your joints.
