Abstract
In this case report, we describe the case of a 39-year-old woman with chronic renal failure on dialysis due to a previous history of eclampsia that caused the simultaneous rupture of the patellar and contralateral quadriceps tendons. Data were collected by interviews, direct observation, and medical examinations, and include information about the case history, the patient's characteristics, the former interventions, and the results obtained. The surgery to repair the patellar and contralateral quadriceps tendons was performed by transosseous tunnels and the Krackow technique with nonabsorbable sutures was used. The semitendinosus tendon was removed and used as reinforcement. Patient under follow-up with good functional results in both knees.Level of Evidence V, Expert Opinion.
