What is a patellar tendon injury? According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the rough prognosis is 6 months until recovery.....

"Tendons are strong cords of fibrous tissue that attach muscles to bones. The patellar tendon works with the muscles in the front of your thigh to straighten your leg.

Small tears of the tendon can make it difficult to walk and participate in other daily activities. A large tear of the patellar tendon is a disabling injury. It usually requires surgery and physical therapy to regain full knee function."
