Quadriceps Tendon Repair
Definition
Quadriceps tendon repair is a surgical procedure performed to reattach a torn or ruptured quadriceps tendon to the kneecap (patella). The quadriceps tendon is a strong, fibrous tissue that connects the quadriceps muscles to the patella, allowing for knee extension and leg movement. This repair is necessary when the tendon is damaged due to injury or degeneration, causing pain, instability, and limited mobility.
