Synovial chondromatosis in the quadriceps tendon.
We present a case of synovial chondromatosis originating from the quadriceps tendon sheath, which caused a complete quadriceps tendon rupture. The patient was treated using marginal excision. The ruptured quadriceps tendon was repaired. This is the first description of a quadriceps tendon rupture associated with synovial chondromatosis.
