The simultaneous traumatic rupture of the patellar tendon and the quadricipital\ntendon is a rare lesion entity. We report the case of a bipolar rupture of\nthe extensor knee system in a young adult following sports traumatism.\nMagnetic Resonance Imaging allowed the assessment of associated lesions.\nThe management of this â??floatingâ? kneecap was surgical associated with rehabilitation.\nA functional assessment at 02 years of follow-up was performed.\nThe functional prognosis is related on the one hand to the difficulties of positioning\nof the patella and on the other hand to the associated lesions (meniscus-\nligamentous knee injuries).
