Idiopathic simultaneous bilateral Achilles tendon rupture
Summary

Our patient was a healthy, previously asymptomatic 33-year-old woman with no obvious predisposing factors other than a remote history of involvement in gymnastics. The patient opted for surgical management which resulted in a favourable outcome.
