Potential Complications
Jumper’s knee requires proper treatments to prevent the symptoms from becoming worse. If left untreated, the condition can lead to further complications over time. The tendon and surrounding tissues or muscles can be damaged severely. This restricts movement and other daily functions involving these parts. More specifically, stopping activities and resting the limbs could be emotionally challenging for professional athletes. They might not want to stop even when it is painful. In some serious cases, they have to end their sports career when the jumper’s knee deteriorates over time. [6]
