A case of an isolated popliteus tendon rupture occurring during sport in a skeletally immature athlete is presented. Treatment is not always clearly defined, as both nonoperative and operative have been successful. Because the outcome of rest from sports activity and failed trials of physical therapy allowed continued discomfort in the posterolateral aspect of the knee in this patient, repeat imaging and arthroscopy were performed. Part of the popliteus tendon was demonstrated to have ossified and was openly debrided. The remaining tendon was repaired to the lateral capsule. The patient went on to a full recovery and return to sport.
本文介绍了一例骨骼未成熟运动员在运动过程中发生的孤立性腘肌腱断裂病例。由于非手术和手术治疗均取得了成功，治疗方法并不总是明确的。因为该患者停止体育活动并进行物理治疗无效后，膝关节后外侧仍持续不适，所以进行了重复成像和关节镜检查。结果显示腘肌腱部分已经骨化，遂进行了开放性清创。剩余的肌腱被修复至外侧关节囊。患者最终完全康复并重返运动。
