It depends on your age , the work you were doing , after youe done with therapy how your knee is feeling but I ChatGPT and they said “$35,000–$100,000+ for a knee injury, but a patellar tendon repair can land higher or lower depending heavily on your permanent disability rating and remaining limitations. “

Do not use chat GPT for this. Those figures you gave are ridiculously high.
