Bilateral rupture of the patellar tendon is a very rare injury. It occurs in association with chronic systemic diseases or
corticosteroid medications. We report a case of a 13-year-old child with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome presenting a bilateral patellar
tendon disruption of proximal insertion that occurred with a trivial trauma. Surgical management consisting in tendon repair
with a suture anchor technique protected temporarily with a cerclage wiring gives a good outcome
