Biceps Femoris Accessory Tendon Tenodesis: A Case Report

Abstract

Snapping at the lateral knee can be caused by a variety of pathologies involving surrounding soft tissue structures such as the popliteus, semitendinosus and/or gracilis tendons, IT Band syndrome, lateral meniscus tears, or rheumatoid nodules. [1][2][3][4] snapping In rare instances, lateral knee pain may also be caused by the distal tendon of the biceps femoris long head shifting over the fibular head. [5][6] Regardless, the various differential diagnoses should be properly ruled out by a careful history, a detailed physical exam, and advanced imaging.
