The medial part of the ligament extends superficial to the tendon of popliteus muscle [2]: 138 to attach at the posterior part of the intercondylar area of tibia. [3] [2]: 138 The lateral part forms a separate band that extends to the posterior part of [3] the lateral condyle of femur [3] [2]: 138 alongside the tendon of popliteus muscle.
The oblique popliteal ligament is a radiation of the tendon of the semimembranosus on the medial side, from where it is direct laterally and proximally. The arcuate popliteal ligament originates on the apex of the head of the fibula to stretch proximally, crosses the tendon of the popliteus muscle, and passes into the capsule. [10]: 206
It extends from the lower margin of the patella above, to the infrapatellar synovial fold below. With its free upper margin, this fold extends dorsally through the joint space to surround the two cruciate ligaments from the front, thus dividing the surrounding joint space into two chambers. Laterally of this are a pair of alar folds. [2]
Osborne's ligament, also Osborne's band, Osborne's fascia, Osborne's arcade, arcuate ligament of Osborne, or the cubital tunnel retinaculum, refers to either the connective tissue which spans the humeral and ulnar heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) or another distinct tissue located between the olecranon process of the ulna and the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
The arcuate ligament may refer to: Inferior pubic ligament (arcuate ligament of the pubis). Arcuate popliteal ligament. Arcuate ligaments of the diaphragm: Median arcuate ligament; Medial arcuate ligament; Lateral arcuate ligament
The common fibular nerve is the smaller terminal branch of the sciatic nerve. The common fibular nerve has root values of L4, L5, S1, and S2. It arises from the superior angle of the popliteal fossa and extends to the lateral angle of the popliteal fossa, along the medial border of the biceps femoris.
