Prophylaxis | Surgery for patellar tip syndrome

Prophylaxis

Especially the practice of certain sports can lead to a patellar tip syndrome. Some behaviours can help to reduce the likelihood of the syndrome occurring. Especially the correct warm-up before sports as well as stretching exercises, both before and after sports, are important prophylactic measures.

Overloading due to a rapidly increasing intensity of activity should also be avoided. If the legs are incorrectly positioned, insoles can help to relieve the structures and thus effectively reduce the probability of the occurrence of patellar tendon syndrome.
