Abstract:
Quadriceps tendon injuries are quite common but seldom ruptures can be seen bilaterally in both tendons. Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is usually associated with certain chronic metabolic syndromes. Usually ruptures happen to older people and they are thought to be the result of tendon weakening. There are only few cases reported in the literature where the only predisposing cause is previous anabolic steroid abuse. We describe the simultaneous rupture of both quadriceps tendons in a bodybuilder who had taken anabolic steroids for years.
