Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture--a case report.
The diagnosis of rupture of the quadriceps tendon is made relatively infrequently and bilateral simultaneous rupture is a rarity. We report a case of spontaneous bilateral rupture of the quadriceps tendon in a patient with documented chronic renal insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism. A predisposing cause to the condition as obtained in this case, has been described in cases previously published in the literature.
