The tear is a partial quadriceps tear in the muscle belly(not the tendinous part.) Keep knee in a shoulder immobiliser for 3 weeks and take rest. Try extending the knee, no intervention is required if you are able to do that. If your re unable to do so, or have weakness/pain then you may need surgical repair.

Share MRI .
