📌 Anatomy of the Biceps Femoris Tendon

 

  • Distal Biceps Femoris Tendon The distal tendon of the biceps femoris merges with the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) 1 cm above the fibular head, inserting as a single conjoined tendon onto the lateral aspect of the fibular head. 
  • The LCL inserts anteriorly and the biceps femoris tendon inserts posteriorly.
  • Tendon Composition on Axial Imaging On axial imaging, the biceps femoris tendon does not appear as a single structure. 
  • Instead, it consists of different tendinous and fascial components, most attaching to the fibular head, with potential tibial attachment.

 

✅Long Head Tendon Arms The long head 

  • Anterior Arm - Inserts on lateral fibular head/neck
  • Direct Arm - Inserts posteriorly on lateral fibular head/neck

 

✅ Short Head Tendon Arms

  • Direct Arm - Inserts anteromedially on fibular head
  • Anterior Arm - Does not attach to fibula, passes medial to LCL to attach on superolateral tibial condyle

★ Additional Point 

  • The anterior arm of the short head attaches posterior to Gerdy's tubercle, distal to the anterolateral ligament insertion.
  • Therefore, a Segond fracture (avulsion of the mid-third lateral capsular ligament) may involve this tendon arm.
