Abstract
- We present a case of a 37-year-old man who sustained a rupture of his left patellar tendon approximately 48 hours after rupturing his right patellar tendon. This temporal pattern illustrates two important aspects of patellar tendon injury-that rupture of the degenerated patellar tendon may occur without any prodromal warning and that it may elude detection even if the patient is examined by several physicians.
