An unusual cause of anterolateral knee pain, popliteus tendon tenosynovitis, was successfully treated arthroscopically. This condition, involving the popliteus muscle, can cause significant knee pain and was confirmed during surgery.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Sports Medicine
Anatomy

Background:

The popliteus muscle, crucial for knee stability, originates from the lateral femoral condyle, fibula head, and lateral meniscus.
It is susceptible to various pathologies like tenosynovitis, calcific tendonitis, rupture, and avulsion.

Observation:

A case report detailing an unusual etiology of anterolateral knee pain.
The patient presented with symptoms not definitively diagnosed by initial magnetic resonance imaging.

Findings:

Popliteus tendon tenosynovitis was identified as the cause of anterolateral knee pain.
Diagnosis was confirmed and treatment was successfully performed during arthroscopic examination.

Implications:
