Ultrasonography is a useful imaging modality for identifying structural anomalies in patients with jumper's knee, aiding in diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Fritschy et al. (1988) conducted a case-control in Jumper's knee (patellar tendinitis) (n=40). Ultrasonographic examination vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Ultrasonographic anomalies in painful tendons. Ultrasonographic examination identified anomalies in 100% of painful tendons in patients with jumper's knee, aiding in diagnosis and guiding successful treatment.
