Snapping knee: an unusual biceps femoris tendon injury

Rajeev Bansal et al. Knee. 2005 Dec.

Abstract

We report a case of acute post-traumatic snapping of the biceps femoris tendon following a soccer injury. Surgical stabilisation, achieved by re-routing the tendon insertion through a tunnel in the fibular head, resolved the symptoms after conservative management failed. We believe this is the first report of a 'snapping knee' resulting from direct injury to the biceps femoris tendon insertion.
