Abstract
Isolated avulsion of the biceps femoris tendon is a relatively rare condition. We report a case of a 43 year-old soccer player with a rupture of the biceps femoris tendon which occurred in a hyperextension of the knee. Based on this case, we discuss the literature referring to injury pattern and treatment.
