A rare case of intratendinous ossifications of the bilateral patellar tendons was reported. A fourteen-year-old boy, who was a superior short runner, visited our office, complaining of pain in both knees after running. Physical examination revealed hard masses in bilateral patellar tendons and tenderness of those. No other abnormalities were noted. Roentgenograms of both knees showed ossification in the area of the patellar tendon. Of course, those were extra-articular, arthrographically. Differential diagnosis was made from patella biprtita, Osgood-Schlatter disease and others. Conservative therapies consisting of anti-inflamatory drugs, local injection and others were effective, but the symptom arose repeatedly because he trained hard. We are planning to resect the ossifications after the running seasen.
