Immobilization is no longer advocated with this condition, although rest from the aggravating activity is necessary. Treatment should include exercises to address the mechanical inefficiencies of the extensor mechanism, stretching for any tight areas, and strengthening areas of weakness such as ankle dorsiflexion and pain-free quadriceps strengthening. When conservative care fails to resolve painful symptoms, full extension immobilization of the leg through a cast or splint may be prescribed for 6 to 8 weeks. This is only in chronic unresolved cases.
