Introduction: Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is an infrequent injury caused by an eccentric contraction of the quadriceps when the knee is in semiflexed position under load. Different chronic pathologies and some drugs associated with this injury have been described. Case report: We present the clinical case of a 63-year-old man with acute pain, functional impotence for active extension of both knees and the presence of a bilateral suprapatellar gap, which was confirmed by ultrasound. Results: The patient underwent surgical treatment by transosseous suture. Conclusion: Early surgical treatment of bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture allows an optimal recovery with good functional results.
