The posteroinferior popliteomeniscal fascicle (arrow) is the least consistently visualized of the fascicles

 

The posteroinferior fascicle is more medially located, and extends from a medial aponeurotic extension of the popliteus tendon to attach to the lateral meniscus near the attachment of the meniscofemoral ligaments.
