hello. after reading my MRI today, my OS informed me that i ruptured my patellar tendon and i am having surgery in two days. just wondering if anyone has had similar surgery and how their recovery went(or is going). he gave me a month off work so that kinda eased my mind. he said i won't be able to bend my knee for a good 3 months or so because he is going to have to use a wire going from my patella to my shinbone to keep the two ends of the tendon together while they heal. well wish me luck on my knee adventure and i'll keep you guys posted. i am happy that i found this board as it has made me realize that i am not alone in my knee problems. thanx for listening.
