  • Title: Bilateral spontaneous patellar tendon rupture in the absence of concomitant systemic disease or steroid use.
    Author: Greenbaum B, Perry J, Lee J.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1994 Nov; 23(11):890-3. PubMed ID: 7854842.
    Abstract:
    A case of bilateral patellar tendon rupture in an otherwise healthy 41-year-old man is presented. This is the 15th case reported in the literature. The mechanism of injury is attributed to a flexion moment coupled with a contraction of the quadriceps muscle in nearly all reported cases. Surgical repair produces excellent results.
