The purpose of this review was to study the effectiveness of ESWT treatment for patellar tendinopathy; to draft guidelines for an effective treatment protocol of ESWT treatment; and to identify topics for further research.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A computerised search of the Medline and Embase databases was conducted on 1 August 2007, to identify studies dealing with the effectiveness of ESWT for patellar tendinopathy.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seven articles describing the effectiveness of ESWT on patellar tendinopathy, all published after 2000, were included. These studies included a total of 283 patients (298 tendons), 204 of whom (215 tendons) were assigned to ESWT treatment. The treatment results were positive but most studies had methodological deficiencies, small numbers and\/or short follow-up periods. Method of application and shockwave generation, energy level, number and frequency of treatments, use of (local) anaesthesia and method of localisation were variable.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>ESWT seems to be a safe and promising treatment for patellar tendinopathy with a positive effect on pain and function. Based on current knowledge it is impossible to recommend a specific treatment protocol. Further basic and clinical research into the working mechanism and effectiveness of ESWT for patellar tendinopathy are necessary.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.2008.050740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,21]],"date-time":"2008-08-21T20:46:00Z","timestamp":1219351560000},"page":"163.1-168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["Extracorporeal shockwave therapy for patellar tendinopathy: a review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"M T","family":"van Leeuwen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Zwerver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I","family":"van den Akker-Scheek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025080112410633000_43.3.163.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-5898(20)32343-9","article-title":"Jumper\u00e2\u0080\u0099s knee.","volume":"4","author":"Blazina","year":"1973","journal-title":"Orthop Clin North Am"},{"key":"2025080112410633000_43.3.163.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546504270454"},{"key":"2025080112410633000_43.3.163.3","unstructured":"Zwerver J Bredeweg SW .
