Prognosis

A conservative therapy is promising in most cases, if a sufficient period of sports leave is observed.With tape bandages and relieving orthoses as well as a soft shoe sole, recurrences or diseases can be avoided. The success rate after surgical therapy is stated in the literature as 70-90% of good and very good results. Frequently, however, the sport specific return takes place at a lower sporting level.

If the patellar tip syndrome occurs for the first time, the load should be significantly reduced, in some cases even completely absent for a few days. In this way, the inflammation that has developed in the knee joint can heal. In some cases, this is initially sufficient to relieve the symptoms.

Physiotherapeutic treatment in the acute phase is carried out using heat and cold applications and ultrasound. Later, special stabilization and strengthening exercises are used to strengthen the tendons of the knee. Wearing a special knee bandage can also significantly help to reduce pain and promote healing.

In rare cases, patellar tendon syndrome cannot be cured conservatively. In such cases, surgery is indicated, which in 70-90% of patients will lead to full athletic ability again after about 2 to 6 months. However, the best therapy is prophylaxis.

In this context, thorough sports activities should not be increased too quickly so that the knee is not overloaded. A sufficient break between sports activities is also important to give the knee sufficient time to regenerate. In case of malposition of the leg, in the sense of O- or X- legs, special insoles can prevent patellar toe syndrome.

All these prophylactic measures also apply if a patellar tendon syndrome has existed and there are no or minor complaints. In this way a recurrence of patellar tendon syndrome can be avoided. In addition, the individual measures improve the quality of life of the patient. This depends on the extent of the tendon changes and the consequent implementation of an adequate therapy and the right exercises.
