Quadriceps Tendon Repair
Overview
The quadriceps tendon connects your quadriceps muscles (the large muscles on the front of your thigh) to your kneecap (patella). This strong tendon plays a key role in helping you walk, run, jump and straighten your leg. When it is damaged—whether from a quad injury, quadriceps tendon tear or ruptured quadriceps tendon—your movement can be severely limited.
Quadriceps Tendon Repair Treatment is a surgical procedure designed to fix the damaged or torn quad muscle, helping you regain strength and mobility in your leg.
Why Quadriceps Tendon Repair Treatment is Required?
- To treat a ruptured quad muscle or torn quadriceps tendon that no longer allows normal knee function
- When conservative treatments like pulled quad treatment or quadriceps tendonitis treatment do not work
- For patients with severe quad muscle injury, such as a complete muscle tear quad
- If you are unable to walk or straighten your leg due to quad tendon rupture
- In cases of chronic quadriceps tendon pain or sore quadriceps tendon
- To restore strength and control in the muscle above knee
Key Advantages of Quadriceps Tendon Repair Treatment
- Restores normal knee movement and strength
- Prevents long-term disability or weakness in the leg
- Helps manage pulled quad muscle symptoms and improves quad injury recovery time
- Reduces pain from quadriceps tendonitis and tendons in knee issues
- Enhances quality of life by regaining full use of the leg
- Prevents further damage to tendon in leg or damaged quad muscle
How Should You Prepare Yourself Before Quadriceps Tendon Repair Treatment
- Get imaging tests like MRI to confirm the quadriceps tendon rupture
- Inform your doctor about all medications and health conditions
- Arrange support at home for post-surgery care
- Discuss the quad tendon repair protocol and expected recovery timeline
- Stop blood thinners if advised by your healthcare provider
- Strengthen surrounding muscles if possible, under physiotherapist’s guidance
How Quadriceps Tendon Repair Treatment is Performed?
- The surgery is usually done under regional or general anesthesia
- A small incision is made over the knee to reach the tendons knee
- The torn or ruptured quad tendon is stitched back to the kneecap
- In some cases, anchors or grafts may be used to secure the repair
