Answer: False

Explanation:

The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). It is actually a ligament that connects to two different bones, the patella and the tibia.The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscles by the quadriceps tendon.The medial and lateral vasti muscles also attach independently to patella to form aponeuroses, the medial and lateral patellar ligament. Working together, the quadriceps muscles, quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon straighten the knee. When the patellor tendon is ruptured, the ability to extend the knee is greatly effected and decreased but its not completely disappears. Thus the quadriceps functions is not entirely compromised.
