Hi there!
Initial recovery may take a few weeks following a complete rupture of the patella tendon, while complete recovery may take a few months. You should be able to run, though contact sports may need to be limited. It would be best to discuss the expected prognosis in detail with your treating orthopedician.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
