No, a torn patellar tendon typically requires surgery to fully heal and restore strength and function to the knee joint. Surgery is usually recommended to repair the tendon and allow for proper rehabilitation to optimize recovery. Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises are often prescribed post-surgery to regain full range of motion and strength in the knee.

Describe what one might have to do to cause a tendon to totally tear or develop tendonitis?

A tendon can completely tear due to sudden trauma or overuse beyond its capacity. Tendonitis can develop from repetitive motions, improper technique, or inadequate rest, leading to inflammation and potential degeneration of the tendon over time. Both conditions require appropriate rest, possibly surgery for a tear, and rehabilitation to heal and prevent future issues.


What happens if your tendon gets too stretched?

If a tendon becomes too stretched, it can lead to tendonitis or tendonosis, which are characterized by pain, inflammation, and diminished function. In severe cases, a stretched tendon may eventually tear or rupture, requiring medical intervention such as physical therapy or surgery to repair. It is important to address tendon overstretching promptly to prevent further damage and allow for proper healing.


Why does my Achilles tendon still hurt?

Do tendons regenerate?

Tendons have limited capacity to regenerate on their own due to poor blood supply. However, with appropriate treatment and rehabilitation, tendons can heal and repair, but the process can be slow and may not fully restore the original strength and structure of the tendon. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to stimulate tendon healing.
