La rotura espontánea del tendón cuadricipital es una patología asociada a enfermedades crónicas metabólicas. La rotura suele ser unilateral y en raras ocasiones bilateral. Presentamos dos casos de rotura bilateral de tendón cuadricipital en dos pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica y revisión de la literatura. El diagnóstico se hace fundamentalmente por la clínica de dolor súbito, seguido de incapacidad para la extensión de la rodilla y defecto palpable por encima de la paleta. El estudio radiológico sólo aporta datos valorables en un caso. La ecografía confirmó la lesión en ambos casos, pero informó mal de la extensión de la lesión. Ambos casos se resolvieron con tratamiento quirúrgico.
