Neglected ruptures of the patellar tendon are rare and severe injuries. Their diagnosis is strongly suspected based on clinical examination, but confirmation is provided through imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is equally important for surgical planning. Here, we report a case of a patient with a neglected rupture of the patellar tendon to highlight the role of MRI in diagnosis. Surgical repair was performed using the semitendinosus tendon and wire framing.
