Hello,
I just tore my quadriceps tendon in a mountain climbing fall. Not as exciting as it sounds, did the Presidential Traverse and was 2 miles from the trailhead when I lost focus and caught the tip of my shoe and went down and tore the tendon. Need to be carried off on a litter.
Looking for anyone who may have had a similar injury and could share their recovery experience. I'm having surgery next Thursday to reattach the tendon. I'll be in a fixed brace for 6 weeks with an estimated 6 months for recovery. I'm a fit 64 yo male. I'm guessing the age is a negative but hopefully the fitness level is a positive.
Any replies would be appreciated!
Thanks
