Quadriceps Tendon Tear

This condition is a tear of the tendon that connects the patella to the quadriceps muscles of the thigh. The quadriceps muscle is used to straighten the leg from the bent position. A complete rupture of the quadriceps tendon is a disabling injury.

A complete quadriceps tendon tear usually requires surgery to repair the tendon. Your Resurgens physician may also use a knee arthroscopy to evaluate the joint and any related damage before planning treatment.
