The patella and quadriceps tendons help stabilize the knee and straighten the leg. A complete patellar or quadriceps tendon tear makes walking complicated or even bearing weight on the injured leg. For many patients, patella or quadricep tendon tears do not heal without surgical intervention.<\/p>\n
A Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates (CONA) specialist performs a patella tendon of quadriceps tendon repair to treat the tear and reduce symptoms. After a short recovery period, the patient returns to normal activities with minimal or no restrictions.<\/p>\n

A patella or quadriceps tendon tear usually occurs from a fall or awkward landing. The force of the impact is too much for the tendon, and it tears. This can also occur from blunt force trauma to the front of the knee. While these injuries can happen to anyone, many preexisting conditions can weaken the tendon and increase the chances of injury. Some of these conditions include:<\/span><\/p>\n When the tendon tears, you may feel a popping or tearing sensation. It will become difficult to walk or straighten your leg. If you have these symptoms, book an appointment with a CONA South Carolina knee surgeon or visit one of our orthopedic <\/span>urgent care walk-in clinics<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Though a patella or quadriceps tendon tear can happen to anyone, you can take steps to reduce your chances of injury. It is essential to maintain physical fitness through exercise. Be sure to warm up and stretch before exercising and wear the proper equipment if playing sports. If you have medical conditions that may lead to tendon weakness, <\/span>contact us<\/span><\/a> for more information on avoiding injuries and complications.<\/span><\/p>\n A patella tendon repair is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Local or general anesthesia may be used. A <\/span>CONA tendon repair surgeon<\/span><\/a> in South Carolina will:<\/span><\/p>\n The patient returns home after being awake and alert, and their discomfort is controlled.<\/span><\/p>\n In cases of a complete tendon tear, surgery is needed to return the knee to full function. Patients who adhere to their CONA specialist\u2019s advice and are dedicated to physical or <\/span>occupational therapy<\/span><\/a> will experience no loss in knee strength or flexibility after recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n At-home rest lasts approximately two weeks. A knee brace immobilizes and protects the knee, and crutches are used to get around the house. <\/span>Physical therapy<\/span><\/a> is started as soon as possible to speed up recovery and improve knee strength and flexibility. A CONA specialist sees the patient two weeks after surgery and again at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Complete recovery takes about 4-6 months.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”About Area” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|40px||40px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”5px|0px||0px|false|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” min_height=”181.5px” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#002f47″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_font=”||||||||” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin=”-33px|||||”]<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve suffered a patella or quadriceps tendon injury, <\/span>book an appointment<\/span><\/a> with the top-rated doctors at one of our Spartanburg, Duncan, or Greenville CONA locations.
