Total rupture of the quadriceps muscle in an adolescent

Abstract: The total rupture of the quadriceps muscle in an adolescent is a rare lesion. We report a case of a 13 year old boy who suffered a direct trauma to the left knee. No predisposing factors have been diagnosed. The lesion was treated with surgical repair and transosseus sutures. The aim of this study was to present a rare case of rupture of the quadriceps muscle in an adolescent and the therapy used.

“…The highest incidence is among middle-aged and elderly men after minor trauma or with a history of chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, obesity, and end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis 15,16 . Among adolescent and pediatric patients, QTR is considerably uncommon and is usually a result of primary external trauma or rapid deceleration 17-20 . A number of case reports have also demonstrated QTR in the weeks or months after an unrelated traumatic injury or surgery, including traumatic intramuscular hematoma of the vastus lateralis region 21 , traumatic patellar subluxation 22 , medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction 23 , traumatic valgus-stress injury of the knee 24 , and arthroscopic meniscectomy 25 .…”

“…La rotura del tendón del músculo cuádriceps en el paciente pediátrico es una patología poco frecuente, con muy pocos casos publicados en la literatura mundial (Tabla 2). Hasta donde sabemos, este caso representa el segundo reportado en la literatura latinoamericana, 9 el primero en población mexicana y es el caso con mayor tiempo de seguimiento. Es importante resaltar que hasta el momento no existe un consenso claro sobre el mejor manejo de esta patología en el paciente pediátrico.…”

“…2,8 Aydemir y cols. describieron un caso de ruptura del músculo vasto lateral asociado con una inyección intramuscular del cuádriceps; 2 sin embargo, el traumatismo directo en el mecanismo extensor de la rodilla se ha descrito como el principal mecanismo de lesión, 3,9 generalmente por caídas. 10 El diagnóstico de la ruptura del tendón del cuádriceps es fundamentalmente clínico, generalmente incluye dolor agudo, incapacidad para la extensión de la rodilla y un GAP suprapatelar, 11 lo que condiciona discapacidad funcional por alteración del mecanismo extensor, 12,13 y se complementa con el uso de radiografías simples, ecografía y resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) de rodilla, que representa el «estándar de oro» para la evaluación de las roturas del tendón del cuádriceps al permitir evaluar la extensión de la lesión, 14 teniendo como único inconveniente su falta de disponibilidad en la mayoría de los centros de salud.…”
