Bilateral patellar tendon rupture is an extremely rare occurrence, especially in otherwise healthy individuals without systemic disease. The authors report the case of a man who presented with simultaneous, spontaneous bilateral rupture of his patellar tendons. He had a history of unilateral patellar tendinopathy but no other predisposing risk factors such as steroid or fluoroquinolone use. He underwent surgical repair and following intensive rehabilitation, he returned to baseline physical activity 6 months post injury.

“…The knee extensor mechanism consists of the quadriceps muscles converging into a central tendon that attaches to the patella and continues as the patellar tendon which attaches to the tibial tuberosity 2. This allows the leg to extend at the knee following contraction of the quadriceps muscle complex.…”

“…Patellar tendon rupture is a debilitating injury. Despite spontaneous patellar tendon rupture in an otherwise well patient being a rare occurrence, there are some cases described in the literature [ 1 – 4 ]. To our knowledge, this is the only case reported in a young, fit athlete using a LARS synthetic ligament.…”

“…Bilateral patellar tendon rupture is an extremely rare occurrence, with only 50 cases present in the reported literature. There are few reported cases in the literature in a fit and otherwise well young patients [ 1 – 4 ]. Large tendinous rupture has commonly been reported in the context of systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, end stage renal disease and hyperparathyroidism [ 5 – 8 ].…”

BackgroundAcute bilateral patellar tendon rupture is a rare occurrence, with only 1 case reported in the English literature of a young, fit athlete with no regular medications. To our knowledge this is the first such case reported using a LARS reconstruction.Case presentationA 26-year-old otherwise well ex-olympic gymnast with bilateral acute on chronic patellar tendon rupture underwent reconstruction using LARS ligaments. At four years post-operatively he has maintained full range of motion and strength, without re-rupture or any evidence of synovitis.ConclusionThe use of LARS ligament for reconstruction of the patellar tendon is a viable and effective option for rupture. It avoids donor site morbidity associated with autograft. Reconstruction of both patellar tendons simultaneously in a young, elite-level athlete has not previously been reported in the English-language literature.

“…Only seven patients of our cohort (15.56%) were injured due to direct trauma [9,[28][29][30][31][32][33], meaning 38 (84.44%) did not have direct trauma accounting for the tendon rupture. Twenty patients sustained their injury as a result of a fall, 18 while doing some sports activity, six while walking and one while running.…”

The extensor mechanism of the knee can be damaged due to various modes of injury, which, in most cases, will require urgent surgical intervention for repair. Single patellar tendon ruptures are uncommon, but simultaneous bilateral events are even rarer and have been scarcely reviewed in English literature. Research in this area is mainly confined to case series, with some literature reviews but no evidence of more substantial analysis. Therefore, this systematic review was done to analyse the existing literature on bilateral simultaneous patellar tendon ruptures and propose a systematic and standardised approach to diagnosing and managing these injuries.A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The search terms included 'bilateral patellar tendon rupture', 'bilateral', 'patellar', 'tendon' and 'rupture'. Three independent reviewers conducted searches in PubMed, OvidSP for Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library using the same search strategy. The eligibility criteria included studies on bilateral concomitant patellar tendon rupture published in English. Bilateral simultaneous patellar tendon ruptures of traumatic and atraumatic origin in human patients were included. The study types comprised case reports and literature reviews.The key limitation of this study was the low number of patients covered by the eligible literature. Patellar tendon ruptures are a rare and scarcely documented injury, and there is a need for studies with a high level of evidence, especially regarding surgical treatment choice and methods, as well as post-operative management, which could potentially lead to improved outcomes in the management of this injury.
