The incidence of patellar tendon rupture in the US military population is substantially higher than has been reported in the civilian population. Among military personnel, men, Black servicemembers, and those aged 35 to 44 years were at highest risk for patellar tendon rupture. Three-quarters of patients were able to return to full activity without limitations. The rerupture rate was low and unaffected by fixation method.
