Introduction.
Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures (SBQTR) are uncommon knee injuries and most frequently occur in male patients, over 50 years of age.
It can be associated with one or more predisposing risk factors like obesity, steroids use, and hyperparathyroidism.
The main focus of this paper is to review SBQTR in obese patients.
Case Report.
We are reporting the youngest patient in the literature to date, a 24-year-old obese male patient, who presented to the emergency department complaining of bilateral knee pain and inability to walk after a fall during a basketball game.
His clinical examination revealed the presence of a palpable suprapatellar gap and loss of knee extension bilaterally.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed that both of his quadriceps tendons were ruptured.
A day after his diagnosis, the patient underwent successful operative repair followed by rehabilitation.
At the two-year follow-up, the patient had full strength of both quadriceps muscles with no extension lag.
Conclusion.
The diagnosis of SBQTR can be challenging.
Early diagnosis and treatment are associated with better functional outcome compared to delayed treatment.
Physicians should have a high index of clinical suspicion in order not to miss such an injury and achieve favourable outcomes.
