  • Title: Bilateral spontaneous concurrent rupture of the patellar tendon without apparent associated systemic disease: a case report.
    Author: Margles SW, Lewis MM.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1978 Oct; (136):186-7. PubMed ID: 729284.
    Abstract:
    Patella tendon ruptures are an uncommon injury. Only 5 previous cases of bilateral patellar tendon rupture have been reported. Only 3 of these cases occurred simultaneously. All 5 previously described patients had systemic disease. This paper presents the only reported case of an individual with no known systemic disease who has suffered bilateral spontaneous concurrent patella tendon rupture.
