📌 Popliteofibular Ligament
The popliteofibular ligament is a sturdy tendinous band that crucially stabilizes the posterolateral corner of the knee.
It extends from the popliteus tendon to the posterior aspect of the fibular styloid process.
★ Identifying the Popliteofibular Ligament
- On coronal images, it can be identified deep to the lateral geniculate vessels.
- On sagittal images, it is seen superficial to the popliteus tendon, inserting onto the fibula.
✅ Relationship with Anteroinferior Popliteomeniscal Fascicle
- Courses from the inferior aspect of the lateral meniscus posteroinferiorly.
- Blends with fibers of the popliteofibular ligament.
- Visible on sagittal slices showing the fibular head.
✅ Relationship with Arcuate Ligament
- More posterior and vertical than the popliteofibular ligament.
- Seen on slightly more medial sagittal sections.
- Has a more medial angle toward the posterior capsule.
