Popliteus
Popliteus is a deep muscle of posterior compartment of leg.
Features of popletius are –
Origin
- Lateral surface of lateral condyle of femur, origin is intracapsular.
- Outer margin of lateral meniscus of knee.
Insertion
- Posterior surface of shaft of tibia above soleal line.
Nerve supply
- Tibial nerve
Action
- Ulocks knee joint by lateral rotation of femur on tibia prior flexion.
- Accessory flexor of knee.
