The patellar tendon connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia) and helps straighten the knee. This repair is most commonly used after a traumatic rupture that disrupts the knee\u2019s \u201cextensor mechanism.\u201d It is also considered in selected chronic tears when the tendon cannot function normally."}
