Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Arcuate ligament is part of the posterolateral ligamentous complex of the knee. It is a Y-shaped thickening of the posterolateral capsule, which arises from the fibular styloid and divides into two limbs:
- medial limb: curves over the popliteus muscle to join with the oblique popliteal ligament
- lateral limb: ascends to blend with the capsule near the lateral gastrocnemius muscle
In individuals with a large fabella, the arcuate ligmanetligament may be absent replaced by a thick fabellofibular ligament.
