The purpose of this systematic review is to report outcomes and complications following the reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon ruptures When a patellar tendon tear occurs, the tendon usually detaches from the bottom of the kneecap Four databases (cochrane database of systematic reviews, pubmed, embase, medline) were searched from inception to july 2021.

A patellar tendon tear is sometimes called jumper's knee because it commonly affects athletes who jump
It can also affect people with conditions that weaken the tendons, such as diabetes and previous knee surgery.
Any condition that affects the quality or integrity of tendons or ligaments increases the risk of rupture For example, diabetics and patients who take corticosteroids for an extended period of time for diseases like systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. One of the more serious injuries we diagnose in such cases is a patella tendon tear The patella tendon plays a crucial role in knee stability and extension.
Patellar tendinopathy is a frequent overuse injury in sports that can cause significant pain and disability However, optimal treatments remain uncertain. If left untreated, a patellar tendon rupture can result in chronic knee pain, weakness, and a significant loss of knee function It may also increase the likelihood of developing osteoarthritis in the affected knee over time.
Patellar tendon ruptures can be debilitating injuries
When incomplete, partial tears can be managed nonsurgically with immobilization and progressive rehabilitation Although complete ruptures remain a relatively uncommon injury, they portend a high level of morbidity.
