Abstract

Medial hamstring snapping knee syndrome is an infrequent clinical entity, with osteochondroma being an exceptionally rare etiology. This report details a case of a 21-year-old female presenting with a 4-month history of persistent left knee pain, snapping, and clicking, which developed following a fall. Despite initial conservative management, the symptoms persisted. Advanced imaging, including MRI, revealed a small osteochondroma on the medial aspect of the proximal tibia, which was the underlying cause of the snapping. A targeted physiotherapy regimen emphasizing quadriceps and hamstring strengthening was subsequently employed, leading to effective symptom management. This case highlights the necessity of a meticulous clinical evaluation and the role of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare etiologies of snapping knee syndrome. Furthermore, it demonstrates the efficacy of focused physiotherapy in managing such conditions.

内侧腿筋断膝综合征:因骨软骨瘤引起的不寻常表现的病例报告。
内侧腿筋断膝综合征是一个罕见的临床实体,骨软骨瘤是一个非常罕见的病因。本报告详细介绍了一名21岁女性的病例,她在跌倒后出现了持续4个月的左膝疼痛、咔嗒声和咔哒声。尽管最初进行了保守治疗,但症状持续存在。包括MRI在内的高级影像学显示胫骨近端内侧有一个小的骨软骨瘤,这是导致咔咔的潜在原因。随后采用有针对性的物理治疗方案,强调股四头肌和腘绳肌的强化,从而有效地控制症状。这个病例强调了细致的临床评估的必要性,以及先进的影像学在诊断罕见的膝裂综合征病因中的作用。此外,它证明了集中的物理治疗在管理这些条件的有效性。
