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. (Reprinted with permission from
