Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture: two injuries 6 years apart.
BMJ Case Reports 2024 April 23
We present a case of a fit man in his 50s, with simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon repair of injuries sustained 6 years apart. Spontaneous closed ruptures of the quadriceps tendon are uncommon. Clinical data of a single case of bilateral quadriceps tendon injury with simultaneous repair was gathered via the patient, notes and surgeon. Diagnosis was primarily based on history and clinical examination. Suggestive features on the plain radiographic imaging were also present. Confirmation was attempted using ultrasonography but yielded conflicting reports. The patient was screened for any associated predisposing conditions that would preclude surgical intervention or increase risk of recurrence. Repairs were accomplished by employing a combination of suture anchors and transpatellar cerclage reinforcement. Apposition of the tendon to the superior patellar pole was successful although with decreased passive flexion on the neglected side (approximately 30°) compared with the acute (approximately 90°). Follow-up continues with postoperative rehabilitation.
