Orthopedic exam: It is very important to see an orthopedist asap if you ruptured either your patella tendon or the quad muscle attachment to the patella, you might require surgery to correct the problem and obtain the best result.

Likely surgery: If you have completely ruptured your patellar tendon or quad tendon, surgery is usually necessary to allow for successful healing and maintenance of your extensor mechanism. Ask your orthopaedic surgeon.
