A member asked:

Which causes a divot between my knee and quad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quad tendon injury: If it is just above your knee cap then it could be a partial tear of your quad tendon. Usually you will have weakness of knee extension, pain with getting up and walking stairs or long distances. You need to be examined to tell for sure. Many things can cause tissue thickness changes.
