title: [Possibilities of diagnosis and treatment of jumper's knee].
abstract: A total of 24 sportsmen having painful sensations upon apex patellae as well as in the course of ligamentum proprium patellae had been submitted to both examination and treatment. Initially, the conservative management of the disease had only partial benefit. More pronounced conditions characterized histologically by microruptures, fiber degeneration up to necrosis showed no response to this treatment. In such cases, the excision of affected ligamental portion with subsequent fascial strand implantation was indicated. Another compound of surgical approach was a deperiostage of patellar apex. From 12 cases managed by surgery, the excellent results were achieved in 9, good in 2 and bad in 1 patient, respectively.
