Anatomic and isometric points on femoral attachment site of popliteus muscle–tendon complex for the posterolateral corner reconstruction

Abstract

The optimal isometric point for the femoral insertion of popliteus muscle-tendon complex is situated posterior and distal to the lateral epicondyle of femur. Femoral tunnel for "posterolateral corner sling procedure" should be placed at this point to achieve least amount of graft excursion during knee motion.
