[Adjuvant administration of plasma rich in growth factors for bilateral quadriceps tendon tear].

Background: Bilateral quadriceps tendon tears are infrequent conditions. Surgical repairs are the most appropriate treatments and they involve several months of recovery.
Methods: We report the case of a patient with bilateral quadriceps tendon tear resulting from low energy trauma. He was treated with surgical transpatellar suturing reinforced with plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret).
Results: Short-term results showed functional and radiological recovery at the two-months follow-up. The use of PRGF together with usual surgery may contribute to early rehabilitation.
