Abstract
Following total knee arthoplasty, the popliteus tendon may cause a "snap" when it rolls over a retained lateral femoral condylar osteophyte or when it subluxates over the posterior condyle of the femoral component. When this condition is painful and fails to respond to conservative treatment, arthroscopic release of the popliteus tendon has been beneficial.
