Abstract EN
We describe a case of painful snapping in the medial aspect of the knee of a 40-year-old man, following a knee hyperflexion injury.
Dynamic real-time ultrasonography determined that the snapping was due to the distal tendon of sartorius passing over a medial meniscal cyst.
The patient subsequently underwent arthroscopic decompression of the cyst instead of an inappropriate hamstring tendon harvest procedure, with complete resolution of symptoms.
