Abstract
Bilateral patellar tendon rupture is a very rare entity. Most cases
studies in the literature have been reported in patients with an underlying
systemic condition, i.e. systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, or
associated with history of steroid injection about the patellar tendon. We
report a case with primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma, who
presented to be a bilateral simultaneous and spontaneous rupture without obvious
trauma.
