A good friend of mine took a fall and completely ruptured his quad tendon (he says that’s what the doctors said. Nothing about any other tendon or ligament)(double and triple checked…this is all he broke). He had surgery, went fine,the docs said he would be immobilized for 2 months, then recovery for at least 2 months.
Two questions: how much does one usually recover (say, will he be able to sprint again?) and any advice you can share is welcome (recovery, diet, etc)…
Thanks,

Just curious. How did he do it? What way did he fall? I’ve never heard of anyone rupturing this tendon in a fall and am curious. Was he doing something else, like skydiving?
Thanks!

A friend ruptured his achilles tendon at the end of the basket season.
Came back stronger than ever. Docter said he was lucky though, because it was a clean tear and he got the right surgeon.
