Dissimilarly, Brinkman et al (2005) and Zeng (2011) found the PT femoral attachment may locate dorsally, beneath or ventrally to the LCL (Table 1). The existence of the poplitofibular ligament (PFL), which attaches the PT to the head of fibula, is variable. The PFL was found in all knee specimens and…
