The simultaneous traumatic rupture of the patellar tendon and the quadricipital tendon is a rare lesion entity. We report the case of a bipolar rupture of the extensor knee system in a young adult following sports traumatism. Magnetic Resonance Imaging allowed the assessment of associated lesions. The management of this "floating" kneecap was surgical associated with rehabilitation. A functional assessment at 02 years of follow-up was performed. The functional prognosis is related on the one hand to the difficulties of positioning of the patella and on the other hand to the associated lesions (meniscus-ligamentous knee injuries).

“…Patellar tendon injuries are generally seen in patients younger than 40 years old and are more common in men [ 5 ]. Extensor mechanism injuries are often due to trauma, though bilateral extensor tendon injuries are more commonly reported to be spontaneous, with spontaneous defined as ruptures occurring during movements and activities that should not and usually do not cause musculotendinous damage [ 1 ].…”

A bilateral patellar tendon rupture is extremely rare and has only been documented in case reports. Although the etiology remains unknown, predisposing factors include steroid usage, systemic diseases, and tendinopathies. In the present case, a healthy 33-year-old male with a prior history of bilateral patellar tendonitis and a diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter disease during adolescence experienced simultaneous bilateral patellar tendon rupture after playing volleyball. He underwent bilateral patellar repair without complications. In the absence of trauma, spontaneous bilateral patellar tendon ruptures are associated with several predisposing factors, including systemic diseases, prior corticosteroid or fluoroquinolone usage, and history of tendinopathy. Injuries can be classified based on the location of the rupture. Bilateral patellar tendon ruptures can be misdiagnosed due to the rarity of cases and the lack of a normal comparative knee. Radiographic techniques can aid in the diagnosis, leading to early surgical treatment and improved outcomes. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical repair contribute to good functional outcomes in this potentially debilitating injury pattern.

“…The ends of the tear were careful debrided as the tendon was brought together and sutured end to end and tied using the Judet suture technique. 3 To protect against failed repair, a patellar tendon frame was made with either a steel wire passing through the patella and the TT, or an autologous tendon frame using semitendinosus in one case. Post-operative immobilization using removable splint was worn for a duration of 45days in all patients with brace-ambulation and weight bearing advocated on the 21st post-operative day.…”

Patellar tendon rupture is a rare pathology with few cases series reported in literature. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiological, clinical profile of patellar tendon ruptures as well as its operative management and outcome. We carried out a retrospective descriptive study involving 11 cases of patellar tendon rupture managed between 2012 and 2018 at the department of Traumatology and Orthopedic surgery A of Hassan II Teaching Hospital, Fez. It is an infrequent injury potentially occurring at any age in life with a clear predominance in young male adults. All cases pertain to an acute post-traumatic rupture. Diagnosis was made preoperatively on physical examination in most patients. Surgery found a full body mid substance ruptures in most cases with a distal tear only in the 33.3% of cases. Surgery is the mainstay treatment. It involves repair using vicryl 2sutures reinforced by a wire frame in most cases patients: transosseous sutures augmented with a steel wire frame or an autologous semitendinosus graft. Functional outcomes were evaluated using Swik's criteria, with 58.3% cases exhibiting excellent or good results. Thus the authors conclude that acute patellar tendon ruptures affect mainly young active males with surgery being the mainstay treatment that guarantees favorable outcome depending on the time of repair and postoperative patella height.
