Abstract
Isolated popliteus avulsion injuries are a rare occurrence, especially in the skeletally immature population. Two cases of isolated popliteus tendon avulsion injuries in paediatric patients were identified and successfully managed with suture anchor reattachment of the avulsed fragment in the anatomic position. The objective of this case report is to raise awareness of orthopaedic surgeons to the rarely encountered isolated popliteus tendon injury that can occur in paediatric patients. Level of evidence Expert opinion, Level V.
