Bilateral rupture of the quadricipital tendon in patients with chronic kidney disease: The peculiarities of management (case report).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionBilateral forms of quadricipital tendon rupture are rare. They are usually associated with predisposing factors, such as secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure, which need to be treated to avoid recurrence. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 38-year-old man with a medical history of chronic kidney failure was presented to the hospital for bilateral quadricipital tendon ruptures after a low-energy trauma. Ruptures were in the midportion of the tendon on the right side and in the level of patellar insertion on the left side. We performed a surgical reparation. One year after surgery, he consulted for a recurrence of the left quadricipital tendon rupture after an impeded extension movement. Biology showed secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure. Surgical reparation and reconstruction by a graft tendon were performed. As for his secondary hyperparathyroidism, he got a sub-parathyroidectomy after medical treatment failure. Recovery was remarkably uneventful. DISCUSSION: Despite the early diagnosis and treatment of a bilateral quadricipital tendons rupture, our patient had an iterative rupture. His secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure may weaken the tendon system through physiological and histological modifications, as it is reported in the literature. As a result, treating a bilateral rupture as a banal post-traumatic lesion without management of the predisposing factors may lead to recurrences.
conclusionA non or low-traumatic tendon rupture in a patient with a history of chronic renal failure needs to identify secondary hyperparathyroidism, which must be treated to avoid recurrences.
