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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

extensor mechanismThis type of injury requires prompt diagnosis and surgical repair as the patellar tendon is a part of the extensor mechanism. The extensor mechanism of the knee is crucial to the function of the lower extremity, including ambulation.
