Abstract
This paper reports a novel method for reconstructing the posterolateral structures [lateral collateral ligament (LCL), popliteus tendon, popliteofibular ligament] based on an anatomical study of a cadaveric dissection. The popliteus tendon was found to always be attached to the anterior–inferior portion of the femoral attachment site of the LCL, and the average distance from the origin of the popliteal tendon in the femoral side to that of the LCL was 18.5 mm (17–20). The insertion site of the LCL in the fibular side was located anterior–inferior-superficially and the popliteofibular ligament was inserted into the posterior–superior-deep portion around the styloid process. Two femoral tunnels and one fibular head tunnel were made at the proximal and distal portion of the anatomical insertion sites.
