Fig. 1B. Cadaveric specimen of skeletally mature knee. Posterolateral
photograph shows attachments of ligaments on fibular head. Popliteofibular
ligament (PF) inserts in upper facet of apex of fibular head. Medial (arcuate)
(aA) and lateral (upright) (uA) limbs of arcuate ligament and fabellofibular
ligament (fF) insert in anterolateral aspect of apex of fibular head. These
three structures are attached close to base of apex of fibular head posterior
relative to fibular insertion of fibular collateral ligament (FC) and tendon
of biceps femoris muscle (B). Note superficial course of fabellofibular
ligament (fF) relative to lateral (upright) limb of arcuate ligament (uA) as
well as its connection to fabella (f). Arrow identifies tendon of popliteus
muscle. lG = tendon of lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle, P = popliteus
muscle.
