LaPrade in a cadaveric study of 10 knees found that the lateral (or fibular) collateral ligament (LCL) had an average femoral attachment 1.4mm proximal and 3.1mm posterior to the lateral epicondyle. The popliteus has a broad-based femoral attachment at the most proximal and anterior fifth of the popliteal sulcus and always attaches anterior to the fibular collateral ligament. Thus, the LCL's femoral attachment is posterior and proximal compared to the popliteus femoral insertion with the average distance between their femoral attachments being 18.5 mm. See illustration from article (FCL=LCL, popliteus=PLT)
