RODRIGUEZ CAMACHO, JM; COMPANY BEZARES, F e RODRIGUEZ CAMACHO, A. Possible spontaneous tendon rupture related to the use of atorvastatin. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.1, pp.75-77. Epub 18-Jan-2021. ISSN 1699-714X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1699-714x2020000100020.
Spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture (SQTR) is a lesion of low incidence whose etiology has been related to the use of different drugs. Statins have been associated with the appearance of adverse reactions that affect the musculoskeletal system. However, the relationship between their use and tendon rupture remains controversial.
We present 2 cases of SQTR in patients taking atorvastatin. This work contributes to increase the published literature of the association between use of atorvastatin and appearance of SQTR.
