Jumper's Knee. Patellar tendinitis, also known as jumper's knee is an inflammation of the patellar tendon that connects your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. This tendon helps in extension of the lower leg.
Updated December 01, 2016. The patellar tendon connects the kneecap (the patella) to the shinbone.

The patellar tendon, like other tendons, is made of tough, fibrous bands of tissue.
