Figure 3. Ultrasound view of proximal patellar tendinopathy with linear probe in craniocaudal longitudinal panoramic view (from left to right). Note the area of decreased echogenicity (hypoechoic), marked with an asterisk, loss of the fibrillar pattern in the deepest and proximal region of the tendon secondary to disruption of the collagen bands, and anteroposterior 8.5 mm thickening (double arrow). ATT: anterior tibial tuberosity.
