Per Google AI:
Torn quadriceps tendon surgery is a procedure to reattach the torn tendon to the kneecap, often using sutures and anchors passed through holes in the patella. It is typically recommended for severe or complete tears and involves making an incision above the kneecap, cleaning the area, and then securely reattaching the tendon to the bone. Following surgery, the knee is immobilized in a brace, and a long period of recovery, including physical therapy, is necessary to regain function.
Recovery for a torn quad after surgery typically takes 6 to 12 months for a full return to high-impact sports, though the timeline can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the injury. The first 6 weeks focus on protecting the repair, while the subsequent months involve progressive rehabilitation to gradually regain strength, flexibility, and function.
