title: [Spontaneous and simultaneous bilateral quadriceps ruptures in hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: A report of a case of bilateral spontaneous and simultaneous quadriceps tendon ruptures and a review of the world literature is given. Chronic renal failure and its sequelae, hemodialysis and particularly hyperparathyroidism are associated with all such patients under the age of 50. Diagnosis should be made early since primary suture of the tendons is the treatment of choice.
