Acute distal patella tendon avulsion from the tibial tubercle (TT) is a relatively rare injury that is usually described in the adolescents or elderly population in their 7 thor 8 thdecades. Bifocal avulsion fractures of the patella tendon from the tibial tubercle and the distal pole of the patella are exceptionally rare in adults. In this case report, we present a 52-year healthy old male who was treated for bifocal avulsion of the patellar tendon with open reduction and internal fixation augmented with two ULTRA-TAPES. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to describe this injury in a healthy middle-aged patient.
