Diaphragm tendinitis

I. Overview: The diaphragm starts from the outer side of the femoral condyle and ends in the triangular area behind the tibia. It works with the anterior cruciate ligament to prevent the femur from moving forward. Running downhill and excessive internal rotation can increase the forward displacement of the femur and increase the stress on the tendons. Inflammation due to various reasons is called diaphragmatic tendinitis.
