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 the inferior pole of the patella and tie them. Alternatively, your surgeon can use suture anchors instead of tunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u03a3\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03af\u03c0\u03c4\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7\u03c2, \u03c7\u03c9\u03c1\u03af\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03ce\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b5\u03ba\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd \u03c4\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5, \u03ae \u03c3\u03b5 \u03b5\u03cd\u03b8\u03c1\u03b1\u03c5\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03b5\u03af\u03c2, \u03bc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03b5\u03af \u03c5\u03c0\u03cc \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03cb\u03c0\u03bf\u03b8\u03ad\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c6\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03af \u03b7 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03b7\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b8\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03af\u03b1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b7-\u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\u03ba\u03b5\u03c6\u03ac\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5-\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03b7\">Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your knee will be protected for a few weeks with a knee immobilizer, with an intent to fully weight bear after 6 weeks.

The \u201cquads\u201d is part of the extensor mechanism of the knee and is responsible for straightening the leg. A quadriceps tendon rupture or tear is an injury of the \u201cquads\u201d insertion on the patella leading to a disruption of the knee extensor mechanism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1697814210000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">What causes the tear?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>A quads rupture is more common in patients &gt; 40 years who participate in jumping or running sports. The classic mechanism of rupture involves a heavy load on the slightly bent knee with the foot on the ground. Health conditions that weaken the tendon are also implicated, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or chronic kidney failure (especially if on dialysis). Direct trauma is also seen as a cause in younger patients.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1697814287789\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">How is
