  • Title: Spontaneous and simultaneous rupture of both quadriceps tendons.
    Author: Stern RE, Harwin SF.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1980; (147):188-9. PubMed ID: 7371292.
    Abstract:
    The seventh case known to be reported in the literature on simultaneous rupture of both quadriceps tendons occurred in a 60-year-old man with diabetes mellitus. The patient was treated by surgical repair of both tendon ruptures with a satisfactory return of function. Diabetes mellitus may be a predisposing condition for the bilateral rupture, but does not prevent either the tendon or wound from healing.
