Understanding prevalence rates and anatomical geometry of the FFL will assist surgeons in repairing PLC injuries. Our MRI data and previous studies suggest the FFL is frequently present in knees lacking a fabella. Based on the observations of this study, we propose the ligament be renamed the gastrocnemiofibular ligament.
