Neglected patella tendon rupture which are presented 6 weeks after injury are rare but it can be disabling. Aim of study is to determine the outcomes of chronic patellar tendon rupture reconstructed using hamstring graft. This case report concerns a 26 year-old man who came with complaints  of weakness of legs, difficulty in climbing stairs up and down, difficulty in getting up from squatting position. X-ray of Right knee showed high riding patella. MRI showed full thickness rupture of ACL. The patient was operated with a combination of Chen et al  and ganga hospital SR Sundararajan7. Our outcome was also excellent with no extensor lag, Kujala score was 94.1, Lysholm score was 92.3. From our study it is found that even in chronic neglected cases of patellar tendon rupture, good functional results can be obtained by repair using hamstring graft.
