Abstract：
The quadriceps tendon, crucial for body movement, is among the body\'s strongest tendons. Factors like diabetes or hormone use can weaken it, making even minor trauma potentially causing rupture. Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture, where both tendons tear simultaneously, is rare. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial. We present a case of a 44-year-old woman who experienced bilateral rupture after falling while doing chores. She had immediate pain and limited knee movement. Diagnosis via physical examination and CT/MRI scans confirmed the rupture. Surgical repair followed by rehabilitation led to significant pain reduction and improved function within two months. Overall, her postoperative outcome was satisfactory. This study underscores the importance of clear diagnosis, timely surgery, and thorough rehabilitation for optimal patient recovery from bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture.
摘要：
股四头肌腱,对身体运动至关重要，是身体最强壮的肌腱之一。糖尿病或激素使用等因素会削弱它，即使是轻微的创伤也可能导致破裂。双侧自发性股四头肌腱断裂，两个肌腱同时撕裂，是罕见的。及时的诊断和治疗至关重要。我们介绍了一例44岁的女性，她在做家务时摔倒后发生了双侧破裂。她立即疼痛，膝盖活动受限。通过体格检查和CT/MRI扫描诊断证实了破裂。手术修复后康复可在两个月内明显减轻疼痛并改善功能。总的来说,她的术后结局令人满意。这项研究强调了明确诊断的重要性，及时手术,和彻底的康复，以使患者从双侧股四头肌腱断裂中恢复最佳。
