Abstract

Quadriceps tendon ruptures usually occur in people aged >40 years who have underlying medical conditions. The injury is disabling and outcome is optimized with early management. The classic clinical symptoms may not be present, in which case radiographs, ultrasound, and MRI often are essential for early diagnosis.
