Structures found in the posterolateral corner include the tibia, fibula, lateral femur, iliotibial band (IT band), the long and short heads of the biceps femoris tendon, the fibular (lateral) collateral ligament (FCL), the popliteus tendon, the popliteofibular ligament, the lateral gastrocnemius tendon, and the fabellofibular ligament.
Only if there are ongoing symptoms down the track, or if there are other injuries in the knee (e.g. posterolateral corner injury) will ligament reconstruction be required. [18] Ligament reconstruction is used to replace the torn PCL with a new ligament, which is usually a graft taken from the hamstring or Achilles tendon from a host cadaver.
Plantar intercuneiform ligaments; Plantar metatarsal ligaments; Plantar plate; Plantar tarsometatarsal ligaments; Posterior cruciate ligament injury; Posterior ligament of the head of the fibula; Posterior talocalcaneal ligament; Posterior talofibular ligament; Posterior tibiofibular ligament; Posterolateral corner injuries; Pubofemoral ligament
Ligaments are sturdy bands of tissues that connect bones. Similar to the anterior cruciate ligament, the PCL connects the femur to the tibia. There are four different grades of classification in which medical doctor's classify a PCL injury: Grade I, the PCL has a slight tear. Grade II, the PCL ligament is minimally torn and becomes loose.
Represent 10% of all tibial plateau fractures. There is high risk of damage to the popliteal artery and peroneal nerve and therefore carry a worse prognosis. May include distraction injuries to lateral collateral ligament, fibular dislocation/fracture, posterolateral corner. Type V = Bicondylar tibial plateau fracture,
The superior transforaminal ligament attaches along the superior intervertebral notch (of the pedicle of the lower vertebra of the intervertebral foramen). [ 1 ] The mid-transforaminal ligament attaches at the posterolateral aspect of an annulus fibrosus at one end, and at the ligamentum flavum (posterior to the articular capsule of the ...
Posterior surface of calcaneus via calcaneal tendon: Tibial nerve (S1, S2) Plantarflexes ankle when knee is extended; raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joint Plantaris: Inferior end of lateral supracondylar line of femur; oblique popliteal ligament: Weakly assists gastrocnemius in plantarflexing ankle Soleus
Single ligament injury (ACL or PCL) II Injury to ACL and PCL: III Injury to ACL, PCL, and either the LCL or MCL *KD-III injuries are sub classified as KD-III-M or KD-III-L depending on whether the MCL or LCL/posterolateral corner are injured IV Injury to ACL, PCL, LCL and MCL: V Multiligamentous injury with periarticular fracture
