A Quadricep Tendon Reconstruction is most likely to occur when the quadricep tendon has been torn or partially torn due to a sporting injury. If there is a heavy load on the leg with the foot planted and the knee slightly bent this can cause a tendon injury. To repair the tear the surgeon will reattach the quadricep tendon to the kneecap (patella).
