Abstract :
Introduction: Quadriceps and Achilles tendon ruptures are well-known entity following tendonitis and tendon weakening in some of the chronic and systemic underlying disease.
Case Presentation: We report a very rare case with simultaneous Achilles and bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures in a patient with chronic renal failure (CRF) in a 48-year-old man. The ruptured tendons were treated surgically with good outcome.
Conclusions: Multiple tendons injury should be considered to prevent delayed diagnosis in patients with CRF who presented with tendon rupture.
