Great! i copied the page to the temporary page mentioned in the copyright notice. hopefully in a week the issue will be fixed. once the copyright issue is dealt with, i will suggest moving the page to "patellar tendinitis" (the scientific name), with a redirect from "jumper's knee" to it. -- Bubbachuck 04:26, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am following up the claim of permission and hope to reinstate the page shortly. --Ngb^?!? 08:22, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

More common in males or females contradiction

The article states in the introduction that the condition is more commonly developed in females, yet in the Epidemiology section the opposite is claimed. 83.57.117.145 (talk) 20:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch.

The Epidemiology section's source is this StatPearls book chapter. In there, their source for the claim of male predominance is this 1996 comparative study of male volleyball players which, from my skim of that paper, gives no comment on prevalence in females. I'm not happy with that chain of sources for the claim.

That being said, the only instance of it saying it's more common in females has no source, so it was likely a typo/transcription error. I'm going to swap those. Hopefully someone can comment on whether we even have a good source for the claim of it being more prevalent in males.

I should have kept looking: The source for the claim in the intro about it affecting females more is this, which cites this for that claim. If you follow that to the results table and the conclusion, the editor who added that claim misread the results.

What the results show is that females are more likely to develop any (lower-extremity) tendinopathy. For patellar tendinopathy in particular, for that particular cohort, it was 50/50 male/female. And it was n=10, split 50/50, so it's not really meaningful. The entire review was on n=147 patient files for any lower-extremity tendinopathy.

So, the claim should stay removed.
