Abstract
Snapping a knee related to a biceps femoris tendon subluxation is an uncommon syndrome that could be disabling in patients with high functional requirements such as athletes. We report a case of a 21-year-old soccer player with a painful left snapping biceps femoris tendon due to a varus trauma. He underwent knee arthroscopy and surgical exploration of the knee: the long head of the biceps femoris tendon was partially detached from his fibular insertion and there was a prominence on the fibular head. Reinsertion of the tendon and osteotomy of the fibular head allowed for resolution of all symptoms and the return to sport.
