Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture is rare. Early diagnosis and screening for underlying conditions are crucial for better outcomes and to prevent complications like pulmonary embolism.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture is an exceptionally rare injury.
  • Only approximately 40 cases have been documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient experiencing bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture.
  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze existing cases and treatment recommendations.

Findings:

  • Early diagnosis is critical, as delayed identification can lead to poorer patient outcomes.
  • Up to 50% of these ruptures are initially misdiagnosed.
  • A significant association exists between spontaneous bilateral quadriceps rupture and chronic diseases (one-third of reported cases).

Implications:

  • Routine laboratory screening for rheumatologic, endocrine, and renal diseases is recommended for patients presenting with this injury.
  • The potential need for antithrombotic prophylaxis should be considered, given the risk of thromboembolic events post-surgery and immobilization.
