    AbstractTraumatic ruptures of tendons in the region of the knee joint are often accompanied by substantial degenerative and inflammatory alterations, especially when the patella and quadriceps tendons are affected. Isolated ruptures of the tendon of the distal biceps femoris muscle at the dorsolateral aspect of the knee are rare and result in an acute reduction of flexion capability. However, tears of the biceps femoris tendon are not associated with degenerative changes. This article reports on the diagnosis and treatment of a 27-year-old football player who suffered an acute isolated rupture of the biceps femoris tendon.
