ABSTRACT
A patient taking corticosteroids for asthma experienced a spontaneous neglected rupture of the patellar tendon. The rupture was repaired surgically by tendoinoplasty using the vaster medial and loosened wire cerclage. Even with the rehabilitation knee began immediately after surgery, the results was judged unsatisfied because of the difficulties of total extension. We underline the difficulties of treatment of neglected rupture of the patellar tendon and the bad functional results after surgery and rehabilitation
