Abstract

Traumatic rupture of the quadriceps tendon is well known to occur in middle-aged men in patients on hemodialysis for renal failure and in patients with diabetes, but only very rarely in young and healthy women. We report a case of traumatic rupture of the quadriceps tendon of a girl without any of the predisposing factors listed.
