Abstract

We report a rare case of painful snapping of sartorius tendon on the anteromedial aspect of the knee associated with bursitis and a very unusual anatomical variation of the saphenous nerve. This patient presented with swelling over the medial aspect of the knee along with painful snapping sensation, which on real-time ultrasound was confirmed to be due to snapping of sartorius tendon. Surgical excision of the bursa and stabilising the sartorius tendon using anchor sutures successfully treated this patient, and he remains asymptomatic 6 months after surgery.
