The lateral collateral ligament (LCL, long external lateral ligament or fibular collateral ligament) is an extrinsic ligament of the knee located on the lateral side of the knee. [ 1 ] [ verification needed ] [ 2 ] Its superior attachment is at the lateral epicondyle of the femur (superoposterior to the popliteal groove); its inferior ...
The fibular collateral ligament (FCL) connects the femur to the fibula. It attaches on the femur just proximal and posterior to the femoral lateral epicondyle and extends approximately 70 mm down the knee to attach to the fibular head. [10] [11] From 0° to 30° of knee flexion, the FCL is the main structure preventing varus opening of the knee ...
May include distraction injuries to lateral collateral ligament, fibular dislocation/fracture, posterolateral corner. Type V = Bicondylar tibial plateau fracture, Consists of a split fracture of the medial and lateral tibial plateau. It is usually the result of a high energy injury with complex varus and valgus forces acting upon the tibial ...
The lateral meniscus is grooved laterally for the tendon of the popliteus, which separates it from the fibular collateral ligament.. Its anterior end is attached in front of the intercondyloid eminence of the tibia, lateral to, and behind, the anterior cruciate ligament, with which it blends; the posterior end is attached behind the intercondyloid eminence of the tibia and in front of the ...
The calcaneofibular ligament is a narrow, rounded cord, running from the tip of the lateral malleolus of the fibula downward and slightly backward to a tubercle on the lateral surface of the calcaneus. It is part of the lateral collateral ligament, which opposes the hyperinversion of the subtalar joint, as in a common type of ankle sprain. [1]
the fibular bursa between the lateral (fibular) collateral ligament and the tendon of the biceps femoris; the fibulopopliteal bursa between the fibular collateral ligament and the tendon of the popliteus; and the subpopliteal recess (or bursa) between the tendon of the popliteus and the lateral condyle of the femur
The injury to this ligament may vary from simple stretch to complete rupture. Some restraint to further injury is offered by the structures on the inside of the ankle, the medial malleolus and the medial collateral ligament. However, should these structures fail, then the force will be transmitted beyond the anterior inferior tibiofibular ...
