Rectus femoris muscle tear

[domani19]

I have been living with a full Rectus Femoris tear for over 2 years now after a fall. I had very little advice for the 1st year and then was told it was too late to
really do surgery .
Now 2 years on I find living with this tear quite debilitating and am quite concerned about the long term effects of living with this, with various side effects in my body and especially fatigue .
Was wondering if there are other people living with this injury without surgery ? how they are getting on and if surgery at this late stage is really not possible


Thanks for any advice Ken Saatchi

I want to let you read a synopsis from the British Medical Journal that I pulled off a google search here in VA. One case report does not mean a lot other than yes the repair is done but you have to find the specialist that does it.
OK so it won' let me copy and paste. Look up Repair of rectus femoris ligament with LARS ligament by Miss Clare Taylor who is 1 of the authors and can be contacted at [email protected]. They have done it with decent outcomes if you believe 1 case study.
There are a lot of reports available but this one seems to be in your neck of the woods. Let me know if this is productive for you

Doctor had told you it's too late for surgery because muscle has tendency to have scare tissues over ruptured area after that much time so it is unable to connect moreover it begins to shrink and has low muscle mass because of disuse it's muscle disuse atrophy
book : ''Interventional strategies to combat muscle disuse atrophy"
surgery can be done if scare tissues are not there and muscle has good mass.
scar tissues can be removed by cutting the edges of ruptured muscle wherever scar tissues are and by TGF-beta 1 inhibitors and then feeling the gap with artificial ligament with toughest suturing. and Decellularized Extra Matrix Scaffolds (dealers/manufacturer- on internet) which is too good for muscle loss which can be placed at conjunction of muscle rupture by wrapping and wherever muscle loss is. Stem cell is the best way for any tissue regeneration. muscle satellite stem cells are most effective in muscle regeneration. researchers have proved stem cells work best with steroids with expert's advised dosage for muscle regeneration.
you should have consulted neurologist who can test your muscle mass plus still there, nerves are active or not. muscle tissues can be transferred built by injecting PRP which delivers nutrition. plus simulating muscle by electrosimulation(EMS) which strengthens if nerves are working properly. nerve transfer can also be done if not.
