Venstresidig quadricepsseneruptur og højresidig akillesseneruptur hos statinbehandlet patient: Left-sided quadriceps tendon rupture and right-sided Achilles tendon rupture in a statin-treated patient

A 65-year-old man, treated with statins, experienced simultaneous ruptures of the left quadriceps and right Achilles tendon during simple gardening, without any known risk factors for tendon rupture. Statins are implicated in tendon fragility, raising concerns about their role in such rare bilateral ruptures. This case report prompts the question of whether statin therapy should be reassessed, particularly in patients presenting with tendon-related symptoms.
