ABSTRACT

Knee joint is heavily stressed joint in the body. It has two completely incompatible properties of stability and mobility. It heavily depends on quadriceps femoris and collateral ligaments for stability. Due to increasing number of accidents and sports injuries, knee tendon injuries are also increasing in number, which more commonly occurs in quadriceps tendon However, surgical reconstruction does not guarantee a previous level of activity. The quadriceps tendon is a coalescence of the tendinous portions of the rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis muscles (the quadriceps). The muscle fibers from the quadriceps blend with its tendinous portion approximately 3 cm proximal to the superior border of the patella. In this single case study an effort has been made to manage knee tendon injury through Ayurvedic treatment. A 38 years old female suffering from Quadricips tendon injury in body was treated with Agni Karma and internal medicine. The duration of the treatment was 15 days, which provided relief from pain with noticeable improvement in the movement of knee joint.
