Simultaneous bilateral rupture of patellar tendons in diabetic hemodialysis patient: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Bilateral rupture of the patellar tendon is a very rare injury, which takes place in relation to chronic systemic diseases. These injuries are known causes. Some of these causes are particular in patellar tendon rupture and another are in quadriceps tendon rupture. Case presentation: 70-year-old diabetic man with simultaneous bilateral patellar tendon disruption of proximal insertion without trauma, receiving long-term hemodialysis. Conclusions: In the present study, we report a case of patellar tendon rupture that has two differences with literature: first, renal failure is a known risk factor for quadriceps tendon rupture, and secondly, the prevalent age of patellar tendon rupture is less than 40 years. Clinical picture, diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment are discussed. Finally, the literature is reviewed based on previous studies.

Spontaneous bilateral rupture of Achilles tendon is rare. Rupture of the Achilles tendon has been described in patients on oral corticosteroid therapy. The sudden dorsiflexion of the plantar-flexed foot is the usual mechanism of injury. Spontaneous bilateral rupture is common in the degenerated tendon, which is often seen in patients with long-term corticosteroid therapy. This case is unusual b...

Bilateral patellar tendon rupture is usually associated with systemic immunologic or connective tissue disease, steroid use, fluoroquinolone antibiotic use, or renal disease. Amongst the spontaneous cases, bilateral ruptures are exceedingly rare and have only been documented in a few case reports. We present a case of bilateral midsubstance patellar tendon ruptures along from a fall from a stan...

Bilateral rupture of the patellar tendons is a rare lesion, usually associated with systemic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic renal failure and others. It is extremely rare in a healthy individual, with fewer than 15 cases described. A case of a 32-year-old male with no known history of systemic disease or knee problems is presented. Physical examinat...
