Abstract
Simultaneous bilateral spontaneous rupture of the quadriceps tendon is a very rare condition and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The etiology is not clear yet. But it occurs infrequently in patients with chronic metabolic disorders, such as secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure. We describe a case of simultaneous spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon tupture in a 36-year-old male patient with secondary hyperaprathyroidism due to chronic renal failure.
