patellaAnatomy. The four quadriceps muscles meet just above the kneecap (patella) to form the quadriceps tendon. The quadriceps tendon attaches the quadriceps muscles to the patella. The patella is attached to the shinbone (tibia) by the patellar tendon.

Introduction. Quadriceps tendon tear is an injury that occurs when the tendon that attaches the quadriceps muscle (a group of 4 muscles in the front part of the femur) to the patella or kneecap tears. The quadriceps tendon may be partially or completely torn. Quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare but serious injury.
The quadriceps femoris is a hip flexor and a knee extensor. It consists of four individual muscles; three vastus muscles and the rectus femoris. They form the main bulk of the thigh, and collectively are one of the most powerful muscles in the body.
A quadriceps tendon rupture can be treated by both non-surgical and surgical methods. Most cases of small or partial ruptures are treated with a nonsurgical approach. Non-surgical treatment involves the use of a knee brace or immobilizer to keep the injured knee straight and help it heal.
thighYour quad muscles, or quadriceps femoris, are a group of muscles at the front of your thigh. Together, they contain more mass than any other muscle group in your body.
Ruptures are often associated with obvious deformities (such as a tendon rolling up) and an audible pop while tears are more subtle and may only be associated with pain. If you suspect that you have torn or ruptured a tendon or ligament, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Epidemiology. The incidence of complete quadriceps tendon ruptures is reported as rare. One study from the UK reported it as 1.37/100,000/year, with a mean age of 50.5 in men and 51.7 in women. [2] Patellar tendon ruptures occur in younger than 40 and quadriceps ruptures in older than 40 group.
When the patellar tendon is completely torn, the tendon is separated from the kneecap. Without this attachment, you cannot straighten your knee. The patellar tendon often tears at the place where it attaches to the kneecap, and a piece of bone can break off along with the tendon.
The patellar tendon begins at the patellar apex, but is actually considered the distal part of the quadriceps tendon - or, more accurately, a continuation of the rectus femoris tendon over the patella - while the patella itself is a sesamoid bone embedded in the quadriceps tendon 1,2.
Anatomy. The quadriceps tendon is made up of fibers from the four muscles that comprise the quadriceps muscle: the vastus lateralis, the vastus intermedius, the vastus medialis, and the rectus femoris (Fig. 5.6).

Injury of quadriceps muscle, fascia and tendon 1 S76.1 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S76.1 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S76.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 S76.1 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code.
