Has anyone else had the misfortune of tearing their patella tendon? Last year I was hit from behind by a car and had surgery to reattach the tendon. Unfortunately about 5 weeks after the first surgery I tripped going down the stairs and redid it. It's not much fun having your leg in a brace. I'm making baby steps each week. I now have about 85 degrees of movement but my physio says a need at least 120 before I can get on a static bike. I still have to have another operation to remove a wire from my knee but hopefully I will be running again some time this year.
