Effects of Untreated Tendinitis of the Knee

What are the long-term effects of untreated tendinitis of the knee?

Tendon injuries are very common, and because tendons have limited blood supply, injuries are difficult to heal. If left untreated, knee tendonitis can lead to chronic pain and reduced mobility. In some cases, it may progress to more severe conditions like tendinopathy or tendon rupture.
