A patellar tendon repair is a surgery to fix a torn tendon that connects your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. This tendon is essential for straightening your knee and supporting activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing up from a chair. When the patellar tendon tears, it can cause pain, swelling, and the inability to extend your leg. During the procedure, the surgeon reattaches the torn tendon to the bone using strong stitches or anchors, helping restore knee strength and movement.
Please note:
This procedure cannot be scheduled or purchased without a prior consultation or initial evaluation by one of our healthcare providers. A provider’s order is required to determine if this surgery is the right treatment for your condition.
