Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is an uncommon cause of arterial insufficiency, especially in younger, athletic patients. Surgical treatment should be performed in all cases of PAES whether the artery is occluded or not. Although transection of the compressing muscle or fascial band is required to obtain good results, controversy exists about reconstruction of the transected muscle or fascial band. We present a case of a young athlete with PAES for whom rapid recovery of the athletic activity was provided by reconstruction of the divided medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle.
