Sign of tendinitis: Entheseophytes (bony protuberences emanating from the insertion sites of tendon onto bone) about the inferior or superior poles of the patella can be a radiographic hallmark or sign of underlying tendinitis involving either the quadriceps tendon (superiorly) or the patellar tendon (inferiorly). Physical therapy focusing on a stretching program and then strengthening can help as 1st line treatment.
