Bilateral rupture of the patellar ligament in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency

Abstract
The rupture of a patellar ligament, although rare, usually occurs due to a sudden and strong contraction of the extensor system of the knee, most often during sports activities. It typically has a unilateral presentation. Bilateral presentation is even scarcer and is usu-ally a consequence of systemic conditions and steroid use, alongside additional risk factors such as lupus erythematosus, hyperparathyroidism and hyperuricemia. It occurs after mi-nor trauma or rarely, spontaneously. Chronic renal insufficiency is a rare but often overlo-oked cause of this condition.
