Hello, I ruptured my quadriceps tendon 10 months ago. I had surgery to repair the tendon. Had the surgery 10 days after the Diagnosis. My question is how important is getting the surgery as soon as possible for the quadriceps tendon? My knee won't bend that well and was told that it could be caused by not having the surgery sooner. Any thoughts would help me out. Thank you.

    Hi, I had the same operation nearly two years ago. Fortunately I was operated on the next day. I still suffer from stiffness and it will never be the same as the other knee. I’m not sure about leaving it for 10 days. I guess with regular Physio and following the doctors advice you should have mobility but again not sure how much. My heart goes out to you as I know how devastated you must feel.

    stay positive and follow the experts advice

    cheers
