Definition/Description
[edit | edit source]
Strictly theoretical seen, the popliteus tendinitis is a gap in the tendon of the popliteus.
This tendon starts on the lateral side of the bottom of the femur. On the other side, the tendon is attached on the medial side of the backside of the tibia.
The popliteus muscle is very important when you rotate your knee joint.
Thanks to this muscle, it’s possible to endo-rotate the lowest part of your leg.
But not only for the movement of the knee is this muscle important, it is a very crucial part for the stabilization in the knee.
First it is used to assure the forward stabilization, also for the retraction of the backside of the knee joint of the lateral meniscus during the flexion of the knee.
Finally it guarantees the introduction of the flexion coming from the full extension of the knee.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]

Epidemiology /Etiology[edit | edit source]
When the knee rotates too much, there may be a chance that the knee shows some irregular moves. Another problem can be that the soles for your footwear are not equal or of bad quality (the joints of the feet are essential to make sure that the knee joints function perfectly). That’s an example of how tendinition can be caused.
