“…Other causes that have been suggested are more distal bifurcation of the long head of the biceps (4) and prominence in the fibular head with normal insertion of the tendon (1) . Six of the eight cases reported (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) were bilateral (Table 1) and just two involved one limb, as in our case, and although most were bilateral, surgery was not always necessary on the contralateral side, which was asymptomatic. Only two cases were described as traumatic (7,8) .…”

The authors declare that there was no conflict of interest in conducting this work ABSTRACTDislocation of the femoral biceps tendon is rare and is described clinically in the literature as a lateral pain in the knee. It was initially reported as an anomalous insertion of the long head of the femoral biceps. Subsequently, it was found to be caused by abnormal mobility of the tendon over the prominence of the fibular head at certain angles of knee flexion. The objective of the present report was to describe and discuss a condition of lateral knee pain in a swimmer who started to present subluxation of the femoral biceps during sports practice, which incapacitated him from taking part in trials and competitions. The case is discussed in the light of the literature surveyed; the likelihood that the etiology for the trauma leading to this condition was repetition; and the surgical treatment instituted, which led to excellent results and the patient's return to his habitual sports practice.

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12] Two previous case reports 7,11 have described the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons as a cause of snapping knee in the Asian population. However, to our knowledge this is the first time a series of snapping semitendinosus and gracilis tendons has been reported in Caucasians.…”

“…Joints which can be affected are the shoulder, 1,2 elbow, 3 wrist, 4 hip, 5 ankle, 6 and knee. [7][8][9][10][11][12] The snapping can be produced by a bony prominence, 2 soft tissues outside or inside the joint, 12 or a combination of these. The symptoms are often well tolerated and do not always require surgical treatment.…”

We present a series of four patients with what we have termed the snapping pes syndrome. This is a painful clicking and catching experienced at the posteromedial corner of the knee when moving from flexion to extension. Clinical examination and real time ultrasound are the most useful diagnostic tools. If medical treatment is unsuccessful surgical excision of both the semitendinous and gracilis tendons is indicated for relief of persistent symptoms.

Snapping of the biceps femoris tendon over the fibular head is an uncommon condition. Reported causes include an anomalous insertion of the tendon, trauma at the insertion site of the tendon, and an abnormality of the fibular head. This article reports a case of a painful snapping biceps femoris tendon in a patient without an anomalous tendon insertion or an abnormality of the fibular head. Partial release of the superior aspect of the tendon resulted in resolution of symptoms.
