Really nice to hear from others out there like myself. I ruptured my Patellar along with medial and lateral retaneculam 15 months ago. I was jumping to hit a volleyball and it popped 3 times. Instead of doing the smart thing and call an ambulance. I let my friends help me to the car and the wife drove me to the hospital emergency room. We live in a smaller town so the Emergency room did not have a wheel chair that had a leg extension on it or not one they could easily get. So they had a male nurse come out and my wife held my leg in the air as the dude pushed me in. Beyond painful where i had to wait a full hr to get in to a room. Lesson learned if you are jacked up call the ambulance they will wheel you right in a room. After Surgery about a week later started having chest pains found out I had blood clots in both lungs due to the surgery. Double wammy. They put me in a plaster cast for 6 weeks then straight leg brace for another 6 weeks. Doing much better now. I figured it would hurt rehabbing and it did. What I did not realize is sitting in a chair for longer than 30 mins is what hurt the worst. My goal from here on out is to be able to run a half marathon at first then a full later. I don't care at what speed just set a goal and hopefully I can achieve it. Any runners in here been able to run long distances after Ruptured Patellar Surgery.Oh and my wife is a PTA if you have any ?s fire away. I eventually got to where I got full range. I am at 135 which is really good.
