{Abstract}: <B>METHODS: </B>A 29-year-old man sustained a bilateral acute patellar tendon rupture (PTR) while jumping on a trampoline. He was initially treated with bilateral transosseous patellar tendon repairs. Bilateral rerupture occurred during a fall 10 weeks after. He subsequently underwent staged bilateral patellar tendon reconstructions using an Achilles tendon allograft. At 3-year follow-up, he has maintained full range of motion and leg strength without rerupture or other complications.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The use of Achilles tendon allograft in the presence of inadequate and poor-quality tendon tissue for reconstruction of the patellar tendon in the revision setting is a viable and effective treatment option.
