A 13-year-old boy presented with lateral knee pain following a twisting injury at football. Plain radiographs revealed an avulsion fracture at the popliteal sulcus (Fig. 1, arrow). MRI confirmed avulsion of the popliteal tendon (Fig. 2, arrowhead) deep to the fibular collateral ligament (Fig. 2, arrow), with no other injury identified.
