A patient with both a femoral attachment injury (peel-off injury) and musculotendinous junction avulsion of the popliteus, a so-called "floating popliteus tendon injury", received arthroscopy-assisted popliteus reconstruction. The injured ligaments were addressed in the same procedure, including mini-open direct repair of the femoral avulsed fibular collateral ligament (FCL), suture repair of the grade 3 medial collateral ligament (MCL), and reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
