No bony abnormality.
From the case:
Quadriceps tendinosis
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/25468/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Side by side comparison of the asymptomatic tendon (normal thickness) and symptomatic tendon (thicker, more hypoechoic and shows power doppler flow signals).
Case Discussion
Comparison with asymptomatic side and use of power Doppler is required to detect early tendinosis or any finding which is not immediately obvious to our eyes.
