Chronic Popliteus Tendon Avulsion Fracture with Chronic Knee Pain and Locking: A Case Report.
Christopher BlackwellRyan S SelleyCaroline E TaberCarlos L BenitezRobert G MarxPublished in: JBJS case connector (2022)
Isolated popliteus avulsion fractures are extremely rare injuries that occur primarily in a skeletally immature patient population and for which treatment options are not well understood. Treatment options include conservative management and early surgical intervention, both of which have inherent risks and benefits. We recommend prompt imaging with computed tomography (CT) to better characterize the degree of injury and follow-up CT imaging in patients who do not undergo early surgical intervention.
