Abstract


Patellar  tension  disorders  namely  tendinopathy and tendinitis  can influence  an individuals mobility as well as quality of life in a significant  manner,  Non steroidal  anti _ inflammatory  drugs (  NSAID s) are helpful in treating Patellar vending disorders.  NSAIDs, namely  ibuprofen  and naproxen, perform by stopping  the production  of prostaglandin, which are inflammatory  mediators. By decreasing  inflammation. NSAIDs relieve pain and swelling  associated  with Patellar  tendon disorders, Topical NSAIDs in the form of gels, creams or patches can be applied  to the affected  area.  Corticosteroids  can be injected  into the affected area around the Patellar  Rendon.  Thus localized admi.
