Patellar tendon repair surgery is a surgical procedure used to repair a tear or rupture in the patellar tendon. The patellar tendon connects the patella (kneecap) to the tibia (shinbone) and is an important part of the knee joint. Similarly, the quadriceps tendon is attached to upper portion of the patella.

The surgery typically involves making an incision over the affected area of the knee and then using sutures or other devices to reattach the torn ends of the tendon. In some cases, a graft may be used to reinforce the repair.

After surgery, the patient will typically be instructed to keep weight off the affected leg for several weeks to allow the tendon to heal properly. Physical therapy will also be recommended to help regain strength and range of motion in the knee.
