Lig. Capituli Fibulae Posterius.—The posterior ligament of the head of the fibula (Fig. 319) is a similar, but weaker band, passing proximally and medially from the posterior aspect of the fibular head to the posterior aspect of the lateral condyle of the tibia, where they are attached immediately distal to the opening in the capsule of the knee-joint, from which the tendon of the popliteus muscle escapes. Equally strong but much shorter bands are found on the proximal and distal aspects of the joint. The former is intimately associated with the tendon of the Distal end of shaft of tibia Groove on medial malleolus for tendon of tibialis posterior tendon Trochlear surface of talu:.
