Fig. 1 Drawing shows superolateral view of posterolateral corner of knee with femur and superficial fibular attachments removed. Arrangement between popliteus muscle (8) and tendon (9) (cut proximally and reflected) and anteroinferior (11) and posterosuperior (10) popliteomeniscal fascicles is apparent. Inferolateral portion of anteroinferior popliteomeniscal fascicle (11) forms common fibular styloid attachment with anterior arm of popliteofibular ligament (6). 1 = anterior cruciate ligament, 2 = posterior cruciate ligament, 3 = lateral meniscus, 4 = anterior meniscofemoral ligament of Humphry, 5 = posterior meniscofemoral ligament of Wrisberg, 7 = posterior arm of popliteofibular ligament, 12 = fibula.
