Wow, I can hardly believe that worked. When I pressed the ball into that area it was so sore, but when I was done the pain in the back of my knee was better. Very cool.

Shouldnt this muscle be strenghtened if you have externally rotated tibia and knee pain?

[@harrysastry3636]

I am pretty sure it attaches to Tibia not the femur. It runs from femur to Tibia correct me if i am wrong pl? Harry sastry

It crosses the knee joint, it's main function is to unlock the knee.

Popliteus helps UNLOCK the extended knee~

Hi, Dr Wu, on my right knee lateral side, if i bend my knee, then straighten it out on doing so, the lateral tendon catches and sometimes locks, i push through and it snaps, when i push through, the pain is off the scale, i feel i want to throw up, was told by a surgeon that its the Popliteus tendon, i had the bone shaved down recently but their is no change, just the same, what the hell can i do, can they take the tendon out???

Hi Dr Wu; and thank you for replying to me, no, nowhere near Dallas, i am based in the UK, i recently had a high tibial Osteotomy on my right knee, and i asked the surgeon if he could do something about the catching snapping, sometimes locking on the lateral side, he said it was the popliteus tendon, that maybe catching on a part of a bone, so he did the Osteotomy, and also shaved down the bone on the lateral side, and took out some fat pads, but it has made no difference what-so-ever, the snapping is just the same, really disappointed, the Osteotomy has gone well, but the snapping on the lateral side is going to give me hell if i don't get it sorted.

Is "smashing" a medical term?
