It can also be a result of a sport injury or a consequence of a road traffic accident. It is also common in patients with diseases that disrupt the blood supply, which weakens the tendon overall, predisposing it to rupture with minimal trauma. These conditions include diabetes, chronic kidney failure (especially if on dialysis), rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, etc.  Steroid use can also lead to tendon weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0397 \u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bb\u03b9\u03b3\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf \u03c3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ae \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7 \u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03b5\u03c6\u03ac\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5, \u03b5\u03bd\u03ce \u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c3\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03ac\u03bd\u03b4\u03c1\u03b5\u03c2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u0394\u03b9\u03ac\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03bf\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03b5\u03af \u03bd\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03ad\u03c3\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7 \u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7, \u03cc\u03c0\u03c9\u03c2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chronic renal failure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dialysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hyperparathyroidism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leukemia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lupus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diabetes mellitus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metabolic syndrome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steroid use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prolonged immobilisation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quinolones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b1-\u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9-\u03c4\u03b1-\u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1-\u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7\u03c2-\u03c4\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1-\u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\">What are the symptoms of a patellar tendon tear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u03a4\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03b2\u03ac\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03ad\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf \u03c0\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf \u03c4\u03b7 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03b3\u03bc\u03ae \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7\u03c2, \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03bf \u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\u03b8\u03b5\u03af \u03c0\u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03c7\u03ad\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03b2\u03ac\u03b4\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2. \u039f \u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03c2 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03bc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03b5\u03af \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b2\u03b1\u03b4\u03af\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03ad\u03c1\u03c7\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b5\u03af\u03bf \u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03b6\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2. \u03a5\u03c0\u03ac\u03c1\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03ce\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bc\u03c5\u03ca\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03c4\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5. \u03a3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ae\u03b8\u03c9\u03c2 \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2 \u03ae \u03c8\u03b7\u03bb\u03b1\u03c6\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b5\u03bd\u03cc \u03b1\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03b2\u03ce\u03c2 \u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03af\u03b4\u03b1.&nbsp;\u039f \u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03c2 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03ac\u03b6\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b1\u03b4\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03bc\u03af\u03b1 \u03b1\u03bd\u03cd\u03c8\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c4\u03b5\u03bd\u03c4\u03c9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ac\u03ba\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5 (positive straight leg raise test &#8211;

Surgery is done on an outpatient basis, which means that you may go home a few hours after the procedure if you wish. Your surgeon will typically place sutures in your tendon, will pass those sutures through drill holes on top of the patella and tie them.
