Fig. 1D. —Cadaveric specimen of skeletally mature knee. Posterior photograph depicts various reinforcements of fibrous capsule and surrounding structures. Note tendon of biceps femoris muscle (B) superficial relative to fibular collateral ligament (FC). Fabella (f) is embedded within lateral head of gastrocnemius (lG), which has been reflected. Fabella (f) is connected via fabellofibular ligament (fF) to head of fibula. Deep relative to fabellofibular ligament (fF), lateral (upright) limb of arcuate ligament (uA) courses upward to reach lateral femoral condyle. Medial (arcuate) limb of arcuate ligament (aA) borders entrance of popliteus tendon into joint. From tendon of semimembranosus (S), oblique popliteal ligament (O) crosses posterior wall of fibrous capsule to reach lateral femoral condyle, where its fibers merge with those from medial (arcuate) limb of arcuate ligament (aA). P = popliteus muscle.
