Hamstring tendons insertion - an anatomical study.

Objective: To study the anatomy of the hamstring tendons insertion and anatomical relationships.

Methods: Ten cadaver knees with medial and anterior intact structures were selected. The dissection was performed from anteromedial access to exposure of the insertion of the flexor tendons (FT), tibial plateau (TP) and tibial tuberosity (TT).

Oblique popliteal ligament - an anatomical study.

Objective: To study the anatomy of the oblique popliteal ligament, as regards its dimensions, expansion and anatomical relationships.

Methods: Eleven cadaver knees were dissected in order to study the anatomy and take measurements of anatomical structures and relationships of the oblique popliteal ligament. The dissection was for posterior access to the proper exposure of the oblique popliteal ligament, the semimembranosus muscle and its expansions.
