Rheumatoid Arthritis (and its variants) :
Arthritis and tendon rupture - - Posted by jlisee (jlisee), 22 August 2003
For those who have diagnosed arthritis (in my case polyarthritis both ankles - 8 yrs). Has anyone's doctor made a connection between their arthritis and tendon rupture (in my case patellar tendon 1/29/03 - just walking across the room). My tendon ruptured a second time in surgery after removal of massive scar tissue (5 1/2 wks after first surgery to re-attach).
