📌 Anatomy of the Arcuate Ligament

  • Y-shaped thickening of the posterolateral capsule
  • Runs to apex of fibular styloid process
  • Lateral limb attaches to lateral femoral condyle and posterolateral joint capsule
  • Medial limb attaches to posterior knee capsule and oblique popliteal ligament

 

✅ Variability and Visualization

  • Variably present structure
  • Difficult to visualize directly on MRI even when present

 

✅ Key Point 1: No Need to Decipher Exact Anatomy

  • Injury can be inferred from increased pericapsular signal around posterolateral capsule
  • Torn medial limb seen posterior to popliteus tendon
  • Integrity inferred from intact posterolateral joint line capsule

 

✅ Key Point 2: Sagittal Anatomy to Remember

  • Popliteus tendon lies deepest, easy to identify
  • Lateral inferior genicular vessel also easily seen
  • Medial limb between popliteus and genicular vessel
  • Fabellofibular ligament superficial to genicular vessel, connects to fabella
  • If fabellofibular ligament prominent, lateral limb may be small/absent
