In this article we study the ligaments and tendons of the posterolateral corner of the knee by anatomic dissection, MR-anatomic correlation, and MR imaging. The posterolateral aspect of two fresh cadaveric knee specimens was dissected. The MR-anatomic correlation was performed in three other specimens. The MR images of 122 patients were reviewed and assessed for the visualization of different posterolateral structures. Anatomic dissection and MR-anatomic correlation demonstrated the lateral collateral, fabellofibular, and arcuate ligaments, as well as the biceps and popliteus tendons. On MR images of patients the lateral collateral ligament was depicted in all cases. The fabellofibular, arcuate, and popliteofibular ligaments were visualized in 33, 25, and 38% of patients, respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging allows a detailed appreciation of the posterolateral corner of the knee.

“…61 Lesions of the popliteus muscle are usually combined with injuries to other knee structures. 13 Brown and colleagues, 54 in their MRI analysis of popliteus injuries (n 5 24), reported combined injuries in 92% of cases, with involvement of its muscular portion in 96% of patients. Associated injuries included ACL (17%) or PCL (29%) tears, combined medial (46%) or lateral (25%) meniscal injuries, and medial (8%) or lateral (4%) collateral ligament lesions.…”
