Bilateral simultaneous quadriceps tendon rupture is rare. This case highlights a spontaneous occurrence in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism, suggesting a predisposing link.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Quadriceps tendon ruptures are infrequently diagnosed.
  • Bilateral simultaneous ruptures are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case of spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is presented.
  • The patient had documented chronic renal insufficiency.
  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism was also noted.

Findings:

  • The patient's chronic renal insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism are identified as potential predisposing factors.
  • This aligns with previously reported literature linking such conditions to tendon ruptures.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering underlying metabolic and renal conditions in cases of spontaneous tendon rupture.
