    Staten Island Hospital, New York.

    Abstract

    Bilateral rupture of the infrapatellar tendons is a rare event in an otherwise healthy athletic individual. The event is usually quite severe and diagnosis can be readily made on a clinical examination. In the case presented here, predisposing factors consisted of an underlying patella alta and a long history of repetitive trauma to the knee. Prompt diagnosis and surgical repair will lead to a good functional result.
