Medvecky 2, Raymond Pavlovich, Jr. 2, Lee D. Katz1 he lateral and posterolateral aspects of the knee have gained attention in recent years both for their complex anatomy and their clinical relevance. Injuries to the posterolateral corner and lateral structures of the knee are infrequent and are usually associated with anterior or posterior cruciate ligament tears or a combination of both [1]. The significance of a missed injury can be profound; reconstructed anterior or posterior cruciate ligaments can fail, and unrecognized injuries may also lead to pain, instability, and possibly degenerative changes [2]. Physical examination in the acutely injured, nonanesthetized or polytrauma setting may be difficult because of pain, guarding, swelling, or associated injuries. Symptoms related to the posterolateral corner may also be masked in these situations. MR imaging is invaluable in evaluating normal anatomy and diagnosing injuries to the lateral structures of the knee and in providing essential preoperative information [3 5]. lthough indirect evidence of injury to some of the lateral structures may be obtained arthroscopically, most often open exploration is needed to analyze and repair these structures. In this pictorial essay, we use MR imaging to illustrate both the normal structures of the lateral and posterolateral aspects of the knee and the various injury patterns, and we briefly comment on treatment.

For personal use only; all rights reserved MR Imaging of the Knee The anatomy of the lateral and posterolateral aspects of the knee can be difficult to understand because of the number of structures and their variability both in form and nomenclature. The structures of the lateral and posterolateral aspects of the knee reviewed in this article con- sist of the iliotibial band, popliteus muscle and tendon, popliteofibular ligament, biceps femoris tendon, lateral collateral ligament (fibular collateral ligament), lateral gastrocnemius tendon, fabellofibular ligament, and mid third lateral capsular ligament (Fig. 1). We do not comment on the additional structures of the lateral and posterolateral aspects of the knee because of the lack of consistent visualization both at imaging and dissection. The iliotibial band is a combination of the tendon of the tensor fascia lata and the deep Fig. 5.

The iliotibial band consists of deep and superficial layers. The superficial layer is the main tendinous component and inserts onto Gerdy s tubercle on the anterior lateral tibia [6] (Fig. 2). The deep layer inserts on the intermuscular septum of the distal femur [4]. Isolated tears of the iliotibial band are rare, but these tears may occur in patients with injuries to multiple ligaments of the knee, including complete transection or avulsion of JR:180, March 2003 its tibial insertion (Fig. 3). If part of a broader injury pattern, repair of a ruptured iliotibial band is generally indicated. The popliteus tendon originates on the anterior aspect of the popliteus groove just anterior and inferior to the origin of the lateral collateral ligament and extends inferiorly and medially to insert on the posterior medial aspect of the tibia (Fig. 4). The popliteus tendon has strong attachments to the lateral meniscus posteriorly. The popliteofibular ligament, one of the most important stabilizers in the posterolateral corner [7], inserts on the posterior medial fibular styloid and attaches to the popliteus tendon just proximal to the myotendinous junction (Fig. 5). Injuries to the popliteus musculotendinous junction or femoral insertion are common in high-grade injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee (Fig. 6). cute repair or reconstruction is performed when operative treatment of combined injuries is undertaken. Isolated injuries are less common. 651

Partial avulsion of femoral attachment of popliteus tendon (small arrows) is also present. The biceps femoris tendon consists of long and short heads. In this article, we discuss only the insertions of the direct arms of both the long and short heads. The long head inserts onto the middle of the posterolateral aspect of the fibula, and the short head inserts just medial to the long head. These insertions cannot be seen as separate (Fig. 7). Injuries to the biceps femoris tendon are seen in conjunction with posterolateral ligamentous injuries in the knee. iceps femoris imjuries are most commonly described as avulsion or partial avulsion injuries or as tears of the distal myotendinous junction (Fig. 8). n association of partial tendinous avulsion in conjunction with Segond fractures has been described as well. In patients with acute injuries, primary repair is usually undertaken with repair of all injured structures. The lateral collateral ligament (fibular collateral ligament) arises from the lateral femoral condyle and inserts on the lateral aspect of the middle third of the fibular head, sometimes joining the biceps femoris tendon (Fig. 9). This ligament has a posterior and oblique course and is seldom seen entirely on one coronal image. The lateral collateral ligament can be injured in isolation or in conjunction with other knee ligamentous structures, especially those of the posterolateral corner and the cruciate ligaments. The location of the injury relative to the lateral collateral ligament can be proximal, mid substance, or at the tibial insertion (Fig. 10). First- or second-degree lateral collateral ligament sprains are usually treated nonoperatively with protected mobilization and rehabilitation. Third-degree lateral collateral ligament sprains or combined ligament injuries are usually treated with early operative repair, augmentation, or reconstruction. The lateral gastrocnemius tendon inserts on the supracondylar process of the femur just posterior to the lateral collateral ligament (Fig. 11). Injuries to this tendon are uncommon [4]. The fabellofibular ligament attaches to the posterolateral aspect of the fa- 652 JR:180, March 2003

This ligament can be present even in the absence of a fabella [6]. The mid third lateral capsular ligament is a thickening of the lateral joint capsule with attachments to the femoral condyle and lateral tibia. The tibial attachment is just below the articular surface and just posterior to Gerdy s tubercle (Fig. 13). apsular attachments to the lateral meniscus are also present. ony avulsion at the tibial attachment of the mid third lateral capsular ligament is also known as a Segond fracture [8] (Fig. 14). This fracture has a high association (92%) with anterior cruciate ligament injury. Ross et al. [3] showed that an anterior medial femoral condylar bone bruise, sometimes associated with an anterior tibial bone bruise, was a consistent finding in all five of their patients with acute posterolateral corner injuries (Fig. 15). These authors note that the medial femoral contusion is evidence of a hyperextension varus movement associated with many posterolateral corner injuries. The arcuate sign or fracture is an avulsion fracture of the fibular head and styloid at the attachment of the lateral collateral ligament and biceps femoris tendon, and the MR imaging findings associated with this avulsion fracture have recently been described [9]. lthough the avulsion fracture may occasionally not be visualized on conventional radiographs, the presence of edema in the proximal fibula can be a helpful sign of this injury (Fig. 16). In conclusion, MR imaging can provide an excellent and noninvasive means of evaluating the complex anatomy and injury patterns of the lateral and posterolateral structures of the knee and assisting in the preoperative planning of these injuries. cknowledgment We thank Salvador eltran for his work on the anatomic drawings.
