MRI images needed: Recalcitrant/chronic patellar tendonosis or -it is usually respond to appropriate nonop treatment. Rarely, operative management is undertaken to debride the mucinous degenerative tissue that may be present (via MRI) at the deep surface of the tendon juxtaposed to the inferior pole of the patella (your kneecap). Adjunctive injections can also potentiate recovery in some clinical series in print.
