Biceps femoris accessory tendon tenodesis: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Key clinical message

We present a case of lateral knee pain from snapping of an accessory tendinous insertion of the biceps femoris. After failure of conservative treatment options, tenodesis of the accessory band to the direct arm insertion at the posterolateral edge of the fibular head effectively resolved symptoms.
