Abstract EN

Snapping phenomenon around the medial aspect of the knee is rare.

We present this case of snapping knee caused by the sartorius muscle over a large medial meniscal cyst in a 66-year-old female.

Magnetic resonance images demonstrated a large medial meniscal cyst with a horizontal tear of the medial meniscus.

Arthroscopic cyst decompression with limited meniscectomy resulted in the disappearance of snapping, and no recurrence of the cyst was observed during a 2-year follow-up period.
