Early surgical intervention leads to improved functional outcomes in patellar tendon rupture compared to quadriceps tendon rupture.
Patients who suffered from patellar tendon rupture showed better recovery in sports and work compared to those with quadriceps tendon rupture.
Isokinetic testing indicated reduced strength on the injured side for both tendon injuries, without significant differences in recovery between groups.
Radiographic outcomes did not significantly differ following surgical repair of quadriceps and patellar tendon injuries.
