Ruptures of the patellar tendon are rare lesions. They are essentially the occasion of a trauma in an active subject while the forms atraumatic or low energy trauma are much more rare and occur on lesions preexisting. We report a case of bilateral and simultaneous rupture of the patellar tendon in one 41-year-old patient with chronic hemodialysis. The repair Surgery had sutured both tendons with metal strapping protection. Rehabilitation of both knees with strengthening of the quadriceps had been started thereafter. The evolution was favorable with subnormal mobilities of the knees, a walk without technical help but with a slight limp, and a climb and descent possible stairs, 3 months back.
