A member asked:
Is it possible to return to football after having a patellar tendon rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Yes i believe it is possible but rehab would take between 6-12 months to achieve a full recovery. Unless one is playing at a competitive level, i wouldn't recommend a weekend warrior to return to playing football after such an injury. Playing basketball would probably even be more difficult.
