oh and remember that all surgeons are different in when they allow you to start rehab and other things after surgery. everyone heals&progresses at different speeds. Also reconstructions aren't done as often as the repair so you'll find more info on the repairs but aside from the procedure itself,everything afterwards is the same! Go to this website for more info and advice..kneeguru.com and type in patella tendon repair

rehabing now and honestly it hurts more than the injury and of course the surgery because you're knocked out lol. hurts first few days after surgery for me. just really depends. all i can really say is that the rehab is a long process and painful at times to gain range of motion back. just take your pain meds,take it SLOW so it can heal,and do exercises they allow you to do before rehab so you're not too stiff. good luck!!

@pro2nz ps i had a partial tear, there is a hole under my knee cap where the patellar was thick and grisly before, however if i feel around i can feel a softened much weaker mass under the bone...still some left but docs tend to think black and white...if it'd ruptured totally i'd at least have needed surgery now i'm just struggling , got to tape it and support it every day and cant train deadlifts or other bending leg excercises

@pro2nz I have stopped !! i did exactly what you did, physios are also STUPID..because they are like Mc Donalds, they 'assess' the injury and usually miss things like this and only encourage you to work it more and like a trojan...Ps now you've had surgery, which is likely what I'll need. you must support it with a good quality brace and taping, etc....take it one day at a time and listen to your docs

@vincent4500 you need to rest it now, thats what i didnt do, i kept training - weights, plyometrics, speed work with a bungee, just pushed through the pain but thats stupid - i think about it now, the reason i had to train so hard and didnt get the benefits is because of the tendon tearing. I wasnt able to utitlise all the strength in my quads due to the pain, so what does an idiot do? he goes back to gym to try and make them stronger - end result - too much power for the already torn tendon.

@pro2nz I hear you, i got severe achilles tendonitis earlier this yr and that sucked...in 2009 i tore several muscles in the back of my left leg and got 'piriformis syndrome' which is a chronic and nasty muscle injury...overcome both those, but since march i felt my knee patellar tear (not completely but significantly enough to stop me being active in any sports /training)...yeah its the most depressing one of the lot...i am f-ing pissed off!!!!!this can be a career ending injury!
