Recurrent bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in a young
patient is a very rare incident. The underlying medical
condition is always present and may have contributed to this
injury. We report a recurrent bilateral quadricep tendon
rupture in a 28-year-old man with underlying end-stage renal
failure that occurred 10 months after the first repair. Injuries
were indirect and trivial during the first and second events.
Surgical repair was performed with similar technique for
both incidents and he was advised to exercise extreme
cautions after the second repair. He could return to his daily
activities with no further recurrence at 30 months follow-up.
