A rare case of isolated traumatic avulsion of the pes anserinus tendon.

Complete rupture of the conjoint pes anserinus tendon is rare, and isolated rupture without injury to associated structures has not been previously reported in the literature. A case of complete isolated rupture of the pes anserinus tendon is described in a young, healthy male. The non-specific nature of the presentation and rarity of the condition makes diagnosis from history and examination alone challenging.
