    Alyssa Carbonell has patellar tendinopathy, which causes localized pain and swelling in the patellar tendon, especially with running, jumping, stairs, and squatting. The condition is likely caused by repetitive running, jumping, and eccentric loading of the tendon. Treatment focuses on rehabilitation through correcting risk factors, activity modification, flexibility exercises, biomechanics issues, rest, cryotherapy, and eccentric exercises over 6 months before considering surgery.
