Patellar Tendinitis Meaning in Hindi (पैटेलर टेंडिनाइटिस का अर्थ)

पैटेलर टेंडिनाइटिस, जिसे आम भाषा में "Jumper's Knee" भी कहा जाता है, घुटने की एक common overuse injury है। ये kneecap (patella) के ठीक नीचे वाले tendon में होती है, जो kneecap को shinbone (tibia) से जोड़ता है। ये tendon चलने, दौड़ने, कूदने, और सीढ़ियाँ चढ़ने में बेहद ज़रूरी role play करता है।

मेरे clinic में ये problem mainly दो groups में दिखती है: active sports खेलने वाले young लोग (basketball, volleyball, badminton, cricket) और 35-50 age group के लोग जो अचानक intensive exercise शुरू करते हैं बिना gradual buildup के।

पैटेलर टेंडिनाइटिस का मतलब

Patellar = kneecap (घुटने की टोपी) से related Tendon = वो tissue जो muscle को bone से जोड़ता है itis = सूजन/inflammation

यानी kneecap के tendon में सूजन और irritation। लेकिन technically, chronic cases में ये "tendinitis" (inflammation) से ज्यादा "tendinosis" (tendon degeneration) होती है — tendon tissue structurally damage हो जाता है repeated stress से।

कारण

Patellar tendon पर बहुत ज्यादा force लगता है, jumping landing में body weight का 8 गुना तक। जब ये force बार-बार लगता है बिना adequate recovery के, तो tendon में micro-tears (छोटी-छोटी दरारें) आती हैं। शुरू में inflammation होती है, लेकिन अगर loading जारी रहे, तो tendon tissue degenerate हो जाता है।

Risk factors:

  • अचानक exercise intensity बढ़ाना, 2 km से 10 km कूदना
  • Tight quadriceps और hamstrings
  • Weak quadriceps या gluteal muscles
  • Hard surface पर training — concrete, tiles
  • Flat feet या poor shoe support
  • Overweight, ज्यादा body weight = tendon पर ज्यादा load
  • High-impact sports बिना proper warm-up

लक्षण

दर्द kneecap के ठीक नीचे होता है, very specific point। Patient usually exactly point out कर सकता है कि "यहाँ दर्द होता है।"

Stages:

  1. शुरुआती: Activity के बाद दर्द — दौड़ने/खेलने के बाद। Rest में ठीक। ज्यादातर ignore कर देते हैं।
  2. Moderate: Activity के दौरान भी दर्द, performance affect होने लगती है। Stairs में, squatting में problem।
  3. Severe: Daily activities में भी दर्द, walking, sitting से उठना, driving। रात को भी uncomfortable।
  4. Complete tear (rare): Sudden severe pain, knee support खो देता है, unable to straighten leg — emergency surgery ज़रूरी।

Diagnosis

Physical examination: Kneecap के inferior pole (नीचे का point) पर press करने पर tenderness। Resisted knee extension (doctor resistance देता है और patient पैर सीधा करता है), pain reproduce होता है। Decline squat test positive।

Imaging:

  • Ultrasound: Tendon thickening, tears, और neovascularization दिखता है, quick और accurate
  • MRI: Detailed view — tear size, tendon quality assess करता है
  • X-ray: Soft tissue नहीं दिखती, but calcification check करने के लिए

इलाज

Conservative Treatment (90%+ cases में काम करता है)

Phase 1, Pain Control (1-3 weeks):

  • Aggravating activity बंद करें (jumping, running, deep squats)
  • Ice, 15-20 minutes, दिन में 3 बार
  • NSAIDs — short course (5-7 days)
  • Patellar tendon strap, kneecap के नीचे band, force redistribute करता है

Phase 2, Eccentric Loading (Core Treatment, 6-12 weeks):

ये सबसे important treatment है — scientifically proven, gold standard।

Decline squat exercise: 25-degree slant board पर single-leg squat, slowly (3-5 seconds) नीचे जाओ 60-70 degrees तक, दूसरे पैर से ऊपर आओ। 3 sets × 15 reps, दिन में 2 बार। कुछ pain (4/10 तक) acceptable है, ये tendon remodeling stimulate करता है।

Heavy Slow Resistance Training: Squats, leg press, leg extension — slowly (3 sec up, 3 sec down), gradually weight बढ़ाओ। हफ्ते में 3 बार।

Supporting exercises: Hamstring stretch, calf stretch, gluteal strengthening (bridges, clamshells), core work।

Phase 3, Advanced (अगर Phase 2 काम न करे):

  • Shockwave therapy: 3-5 sessions, healing response stimulate
  • PRP injection: Platelet-rich plasma — growth factors inject
  • Corticosteroid injection: Very sparingly, tendon weakening risk

Surgery (Last resort, <5% cases)

6-12 months proper conservative treatment fail → arthroscopic debridement। Recovery 4-6 months।

Prevention

  • Activity gradually बढ़ाओ — 10% rule
  • Warm-up ज़रूर करो
  • Quadriceps और hamstrings strong रखो
  • Proper shoes, cushioning important
  • Hard surfaces avoid करो
  • Cross-training करो, running + swimming + cycling rotate

Doctor से कब मिलें?

  • Kneecap के नीचे दर्द 2 weeks से ज्यादा
  • दर्द activity limit कर रहा हो
  • Swelling या warmth knee में
  • "Pop" की आवाज आई हो (possible tear)
  • Daily activities — stairs, walking, affect हो रही हों

Patellar tendinitis frustrating ज़रूर है, लेकिन proper eccentric exercise program, consistently 8-12 weeks — majority cases ठीक करता है। Patience ज़रूरी है, tendons muscles से slowly heal होते हैं।
