Is first time patella tendonitis the same thing as retro patellar pain syndrome?

Little different : Patella tendinitis refers to inflammation of the patella tendon below the patella (kneecap) from overuse. Retro patellar pain refers to overuse pain underneath the patella where it articulate with the femur.
