ok i found a page.....

YEOW!!!

Chances are that if they are doing an MRI it is not completely ruptured. If it was, they would simply say, "torn patellar tendon."

See this:

If it is completely torn they can just palpate it and tell. (I should add, graphic photos...)

okay, i didn't need to see all that... yuck.

Is this the same doctor fooled by Ricky's "Masking Agent?'

You mean Dr. Al Bendova ?

It holds your knee cap in place, I believe....

The patellar tendon connects your knee cap (patella) to tibial plateau. Without it, your knee cap would be in your thigh.

Praying sounds so good right now...

ray:

Just another thing to add to the gigantic list of offseason woes...what a cloud to descend over us. :shakeno:

Looks promising for now. We have to wait for the MRI for good news confirmation.

PAtella is on top of the knee cap, and the tendons connect the bones together in that joint....a ligament connects muscle to bone......

FYI

GUYS.....HOLD YOUR WATER....they still have to do an MRI.

 

[SirDrums]

yeah, thatnks ckeckout my link above but dont scroll to the bottom of the page unless you have a strong stomach.

Peter Sirmon was thought to have sustained a not serious injury as well.

Then the next day the diagnosis went from one week to the season.

Just a nice thought for everyone to keep in mind.

FYI

No. Ligaments connect bone to bone. The ACL, MCL, and PCL are the ligaments located in the knee joint.

Tendons connect muscle to bone. Patellar tendon, Quadriceps tendon, Biceps tendon, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, and Subscapularis (the tendons that make up the rotator cuff along with the teres minor).
