Diagnosis of Bilateral Quadriceps Tendon Rupture using Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is exceedingly rare, which often leads to misdiagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard diagnostic imaging study but has multiple disadvantages, especially in emergency settings. Point-of-care ultrasound is an excellent tool to screen for this injury and prevent morbidity from delay in surgical repair.

Abstract

Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is exceedingly rare, which often leads to misdiagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard diagnostic imaging study but has multiple disadvantages, especially in emergency settings. Point-of-care ultrasound is an excellent tool to screen for this injury and prevent morbidity from delay in surgical repair.
