The four quadriceps muscles meet just above the kneecap (patella) to form the quadriceps tendon. The quadriceps tendon attaches the quadriceps muscles to the patella. The patella is attached to the shinbone (tibia) by the patellar tendon.
How do I know if I tore my quad tendon?
- An indentation at the top of the kneecap where the tendon tore.
- Bruising.
- Tenderness.
- Cramping.
- A sagging or drooping kneecap where the tendon is torn.
- Difficulty walking due to the knee buckling or giving way.
Where does the patellar tendon attach?
The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). When a structure connects one bone to another, it is actually a ligament, so the patellar tendon is sometimes called the patellar ligament. The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscles by the quadriceps tendon.
