Abstract
Rupture of the quadriceps tendon is an uncommon but severe injury that has a long recovery period and risk of sequelae especially when repair is delayed. This article presents a case of ruptured quadriceps tendon complicated by a post-operative wound infection causing a six-month delay of definitive surgical treatment. This paper discusses therapy following resolution of the wound infection (to prepare the patient for definitive repair) and therapy following repair (to restore the subject to previous levels of competitive activity).
