The popliteus tendon (PT) has origins at the sulcus below the lateral femoral condyle and lateral horn of the meniscus. The tendon passes deep to the lateral (or fibular) collateral ligament (LCL) and through the popliteal hiatus, inserting onto the posterior aspect of the proximal tibia. The popliteofibular ligament (PFL) extends from the fibular styloid process to the popliteus tendon.
