title: [Adjuvant administration of plasma rich in growth factors for bilateral quadriceps tendon tear].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Bilateral quadriceps tendon tears are infrequent conditions. Surgical repairs are the most appropriate treatments and they involve several months of recovery.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a patient with bilateral quadriceps tendon tear resulting from low energy trauma. He was treated with surgical transpatellar suturing reinforced with plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Short-term results showed functional and radiological recovery at the two-months follow-up. The use of PRGF together with usual surgery may contribute to early rehabilitation.
