Intraoperative imaging showing complete tear of degenerative right quadriceps tendon edges (A), an approximation of the tendon to the patella following repair using suture anchor and Krackow suture technique (B), near complete tear of the left quadriceps tendon (B), and repair of the quadriceps tendon using anchor sutures (D). Following the surgery, the patient was put on a comprehensive rehabilitation program, which included immobilization in a hinge knee brace locked in extension for 1 month, along with non-weight-bearing exercises. The patient’s rehabilitation program progressed to involve a gradual increase in passive flexion for the second month until he reached 90° of flexion.
