The ICD code S761 is used to code Patellar tendon rupture

Patellar tendon rupture is a rupture of the tendon that connects the patella to the tibia. The superior portion of the patellar tendon attaches on the posterior portion of the patella, and the posterior portion of the patella tendon attaches to the tibial tubercle on the front of the tibia. Above the patella are the quadriceps muscle (large muscles on the front of the thigh), the quadriceps tendon attaches to the top of the patella. This structure allows the knee to flex and extend, allowing use of basic functions such as walking and running.

Specialty: Emergency Medicine
ICD 9 Code: 727.66

Patellar tendon rupture showing a marked distance between the tibial tuberosity and the bottom of the patella.
