The posterior aspect of forty cadaver knees was dissected to determine the proximal insertion of the popliteus tendon, particularly its relationship to the lateral meniscus. Thirty-three (82.5 per cent) of the specimens demonstrated no major attachment of the popliteus tendon to the lateral meniscus. Eight specimens were from bilateral dissections and revealed no major asymmetry. On the basis of these dissections, we found no evidence that the popliteus tendon has a role in the retraction and protection of the lateral meniscus.
解剖了40具尸体膝关节的后侧，以确定腘肌腱的近端附着点，尤其是其与外侧半月板的关系。33个标本（82.5%）显示腘肌腱与外侧半月板无主要附着。8个标本来自双侧解剖，未发现明显不对称。基于这些解剖结果，我们没有发现证据表明腘肌腱在外侧半月板的回缩和保护中起作用。
