Quadriceps tendonitis is a condition that involves inflammation or injury of the quadriceps tendon, not to be confused with patellar tendonitis. It is usually a common overuse injury in active individuals. The quadriceps muscles which are the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis work together to straighten the knee and are pivotal for running, jumping, and squatting.
