About the Book

This is my personal story about my experience with suffering two instances of a very serious leg injury know as Bilateral Quadriceps Tendon Rupture or Tear. In 2007 I fully ruptured my right quadriceps tendon from a jet skiing accident. Fast fast forward 6 years later to 2013 and I did the unthinkable - I ruptured both of my quadriceps tendons while skiing resulting in the dreaded bilateral quad tendon tear.

I wanted to write this book so that I can share my experience with others who have or are currently going through this rare injury. Follow along as I discuss how I dealt with every day to day life, my rehabilitation and recovery, as well as some tips that I learned along the way from dealing with this injury on two accounts.

A quadriceps tendon rupture is a severe injury that affects the quadriceps tendon, which is a strong band of tissue that connects the quadriceps muscles (the large group of muscles located at the front of the thigh) to the kneecap (patella). This tendon is essential for straightening the knee and is crucial for activities like walking, running, and jumping.

A rupture of the quadriceps tendon typically occurs due to a sudden, forceful contraction of the quadriceps muscles against a resisting force, often during activities involving jumping, running, or direct trauma to the knee. This injury is more common in individuals over 40 years old, particularly if they have pre-existing conditions such as tendinitis or degeneration of the tendon.

The main symptoms of a quadriceps tendon rupture include:

  1. Sudden, severe pain: Often felt at the front of the knee or upper shin.
  2. Inability to straighten the knee: Difficulty or complete inability to extend the knee due to the loss of the connection between the quadriceps muscle and the lower leg.
  3. Swelling and bruising: In the knee and upper shin area.


Treatment for a quadriceps tendon rupture typically involves surgical repair to reattach the torn tendon to the kneecap. Surgery is usually followed by a period of immobilization using a brace or cast, and then physical therapy to help restore strength and flexibility to the knee.

Recovery time can vary, but it often takes several months to regain full function and strength in the affected leg. Physical therapy is a critical component of the recovery process to restore strength and flexibility in the quadriceps muscles and the overall function of the knee.

It's essential to consult with a medical professional if you suspect a quadriceps tendon rupture, as proper diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the best possible recovery.
