A 37-year-old healthy Chinese man with traumatic bilateral concurrent patellar tendon rupture is presented. This is the 19th case reported in the literature. Sports-related activities are the most common cause of injury. The mechanism of rupture is forceful contraction of quadriceps muscle on a partially flexed knee. Previous surgical treatments have potential problems. Soft tissue anchors were used for restoration of the patellar continuity. Improved surgical techniques and excellent functional results are expected.
