RESUMEN
La rotura espontánea del tendón cuadricipital (REC) es una lesión de escasa incidencia cuya etiología se ha relacionado con el uso de diferentes fármacos. Las estatinas son fármacos que se han asociado a la aparición de reacciones adversas que afectan al sistema músculo-esquelético, aunque la relación entre su uso y las roturas tendinosas es controvertida. Presentamos 2 casos de REC de pacientes en tratamiento con atorvastatina. Este trabajo contribuye a aumentar la literatura publicada sobre la posible asociación entre el uso de atorvastatina y la aparición de REC
ABSTRACT
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
