 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Progress in posterolateral knee structures Of: Ganyu Dong, Ding Jing △, Xu Yongqing, Jiang Wu, Jun Yang [Keywords:] knee anatomy Knee joint as the body’s largest and most complex joint, supporting the body weight of approximately 90%. It’s balance and stability in the state mainly by the ligaments and tendons around the reinforcement. Over the past knee injury is relatively small, so the knee anatomy, ligament biomechanical features, functions, and treatment after injury anatomy was relatively small. In recent years, traffic accidents and falls with the increase in injuries, knee injuries more common, but because of anatomical structures complex and often difficult to deal with the injury, in particular, excessive valgus knee injury in recent years, scholars have put forth abroad posterolateral knee complex concept (PLC). They were followed up for the knee injury patients found that many Despite aggressive treatment, but still can not achieve the desired results, although by the autopsy findings were damaged cruciate ligament repair or reconstruction, but ignored the posterolateral area of #8203;#8203;the knee there is a small and relatively hidden composite structure that PLC complex. The study also found that the clinical knee cruciate ligament or lateral collateral ligament is damaged with many different degrees of damage to some or all of PLC, but due to the complexity of the knee structure and current research on the relative superficial PLC , ignored during the operation of this structure, most of us the importance of stability on the knee, so the knee injury is often difficult to handle. 1 Basic Research 1.1 Anatomy of the present complex composed of PLC is no uniform standard, foreign anatomical PLC are found lateral collateral ligament, tendon, ligament, meniscus fiber, muscle sheath fiber, beans and arched calf ligament, Fudan University Sports Medicine Center anatomic structure will be divided into three PLC, in
