“…Watanabe et al (1993) and Yang et al (2011) found that the distance from the center of the attachment of PT to the lateral epicondyle of the femur was 10.32 ± 3.2 mm and 11.32 ± 1.2 mm, respectively. Considering that attachment of the LCL was located near the lateral epicondyle (LaPrade et al 2003;Brinkman et al 2005), the distance found in this study between the attachment of PT and LCL in the different types shown in Table 3 and Fig. 2, is similar to the results of Watanabe et al (1993) and Yang et al (2011).…”

“…However, Jung et al (2010) classified the locations of PT attachment with respect to the LCL attachment into three types: posteroinferior, just inferior, and double attachment by bifurcate bundles. Brinkman et al (2005) and Jung et al (2010) reported that the attachment of PT was posterior to LCL in 94.1% (2/34) and 72% (13/18) samples. The classification in our present study was similar to that reported by Jung et al (2010) except for type I, which was found instead of bifurcate bundles, and we found that type II and type III accounted for 75.3% (61/81) of the knees examined.…”

“…Staubli and Birrer (1990) and LaPrade et al (2003) described the attachment of PT on the femoral condyle to be anterior to the attachment of LCL and located in the anterior part of the popliteal sulcus. Nevertheless, Brinkman et al (2005), Jung et al (2010 and Yang et al (2011) reported more variability in the PT femoral attachment, which may locate anterior, beneath or posterior to the LCL, and noted that the posterior type is more frequently observed.…”

This study explored the anatomic relationship of the popliteus complex (PC) and collected anatomic data of PC in a Chinese population. The anatomic study was performed using 81 formalin-fixed knees. The femoral attachment of the popliteus tendon could be classified into three types with respect to femoral attachment of the lateral collateral ligament. The popliteofibular ligament presented as ligament (87.7%) or fascia (12.3%), originating from the musculotendinous junction of the popliteus muscle or just proximal to it. Given the great variability of the posterolateral structures, reconstructive surgeons should design a method based on individual anatomic features, rather than a fixed reconstructive surgery.

“…The attachment sites of LCL and PT on femoral condyle in the literature markedly varied. It was stated that PT attached 0.84-18.5 mm anterior to the LCL (Bartonícek, 2005;Brinkman et al;Kim et al). In some other studies, PT has been expressed to locate in three positions: posteroinferior, just inferior or posterior to the LCL in extension position of the knee (Ullrich et al, 2002;Zhang et al;Jung et al).…”

Among the numerous lateral structures of the knee, the lateral (fibular) collateral ligament (LCL), popliteus tendon (PT) and popliteofibular ligament (PF) are the key structures for posterolateral stability (LaPrade et al).…”

SUMMARY:To reveal the detailed morphological features of the fibular collateral (fibular) ligament, popliteus tendon, popliteofibular ligament and the synovial components regarding to achieve data for surgical and biomechanical utilization. Knees of 10 formalin-fixed male cadavers were dissected bilaterally. Bursae around the lateral collateral ligament and the relation of popliteus tendon with lateral collateral ligament at the femoral attachment site were noted. The positional relation between both ends of popliteofibular ligament was evaluated statistically. The PT exceeded the anterior margin of lateral collateral ligament in 11 sides, the posterior margin of lateral collateral ligament in 3 sides and exceeded both the anterior and posterior margins of lateral collateral ligament in 5 sides. The shape of lateral collateral ligament was narrower at the lower part than the upper in 14 sides. The width of lower part of lateral collateral ligament was found narrower in the cases with sheath-like bursa (vagina synovialis). The relation between both ends of popliteofibular ligament was as followed: the more anteriorly the fibular head attachment was located, the more anteriorly popliteofibular ligament was attached to the popliteus tendon. To resolve the posterolateral corner of the knee with regard to surgical anatomy and biomechanics, individual and concerted morphometric characteristics of lateral collateral ligament, popliteus tendon and PF should be evaluated together with accompanied synovial structures.

A quantitative assessment of the insertional footprints of the hip joint capsular ligaments and their spanning fibers for reconstruction

Quantitative descriptions of the hip joint capsular ligament insertional footprints have been reported. Using a three-dimensional digitizing system, and computer modeling, the area, and dimensions of the three main hip capsular ligaments and their insertional footprints were quantified in eight cadaveric hips. The iliofemoral ligament (ILFL) attaches proximally to the anterolateral supra-acetabular region (mean area = 4.2 cm(2)). The mean areas of the ILFL lateral and medial arm insertional footprints are 4.8 and 3.1 cm(2), respectively. The pubofemoral ligament (proximal footprint mean area = 1.4 cm(2)) blends with the medial ILFL anteriorly and the proximal ischiofemoral ligament (ISFL) distally without a distal bony insertion. The proximal and distal ISFL footprint mean areas are 6.4 and 1.2 cm(2), respectively. The hip joint capsular ligaments have consistent anatomic and insertional patterns. Quantification of the ligaments and their attachment sites may aid in improving anatomic repairs and reconstructions of the hip joint capsule using open and/or arthroscopic techniques.
