Can infection undo a quad tendon repair?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Absolutely: Infection may destroy tissue and impair healing. An excellent repair may have to be redone because of a predictable but uncommon complication of the procedure.

YES: Infection can be destructive to tissue and may easily destroy an effective surgical repair. This is an unfortunate but predictable complication of the procedure.
