Zusammenfassung

Komplikationen nach Kniegelenkarthroskopien sind selten. Eine Quadrizepssehnenruptur nach Kniegelenkarthroskopie ist eine Rarität. Nur 2 Fälle wurden bisher in der Literatur beschrieben. Die vorliegende Kasuistik beschreibt den seltenen Fall einer kompletten und spontanen Quadrizepssehnenruptur bei einem 19-jährigen Patienten, der sich durch das späte Auftreten 5 Wochen nach arthroskopischem lateralem Release von den beiden bekannten Fällen unterscheidet.

Abstract

Complications after arthroscopic surgery of the knee joint are infrequent. Quadriceps tendon ruptures after knee arthroscopy are rarities. Only two cases have been published in the medical literature. This article presents a case of a quadriceps tendon rupture that occurred in a 19-year-old patient 5 weeks after lateral release of the retinaculum by arthroscopy. The late occurrence differentiates this case from the other previously published cases.
