How to treat patellar tendonitis?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I organized a mountain climbing club. The mountain was very slippery, and it had just rained, making the ground a bit slippery. I accidentally fell and scraped my knee. When I got home, I realized my knee was very painful. I asked a few questions about how to treat patellar bursitis. Can you quickly explain it to me?

Doctor's answer:

This patellar bursitis is mainly caused by previous injuries, although it is also possible in a very small number of cases to be based on various types of bursitis. It is best to go to the hospital for a few magnetic resonance imaging tests. In terms of treatment, topical anti-inflammatory and blood-activating ointments can be used. Please follow the doctor's advice on specific medications. During this period, it is important to pay attention to rest. You can also choose to go to the hospital for physical therapy to help alleviate the pain.
