Patellar Tendon Repair

Patellar Tendon Repair is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Patellar tendon repair is a surgical procedure performed to reattach or reconstruct the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). This procedure is typically indicated for individuals who have sustained a complete tear or rupture of the patellar tendon, often due to traumatic injury or repetitive stress. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the knee, repositions the torn ends of the patellar tendon, and secures them with sutures or anchors to restore stability and function to the knee joint. In some cases, additional techniques such as tendon grafts or augmentation may be used to reinforce the repair and promote optimal healing. Physical therapy is an essential component of postoperative care to help regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the knee.
