190 Chapter 6
Common Fibular Nerve
1. Patient position: Prone or side-lying
2. Probe/transducer position: The probe is placed transversely across the common peroneal nerve on the posterior aspect of the fibular head. After identifying the nerve, the LX view can be obtained by rotating the probe (Figure 6-43).

3. Relevant anatomy: The common fibular nerve behind the fibular head is covered with skin and subcutaneous tissue. As it courses around the fibular neck to move anteriorly, it is covered by the peroneus longus muscle (fibular tunnel). The nerve then divides into superficial and deep branches.

4. Points to remember: The common fibular nerve appears as a hyperechoic flattened oval struc­ture traveling between the fascial planes. The common fibular nerve view can be confirmed by following it proximally at the level of the posterior knee where it joins the tibial counterpart to form the sciatic nerve.

Joint Anatomy
1. Patient position: Prone
2. Probe/transducer position:
a. SX view/transverse view: The probe is placed transversely across the popliteal aspect to
examine the joint and other soft tissue structures overlying the joint, such as tendons, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels (Figure 6-44).

b. LX view/longitudinal view: The probe is placed on the posterior aspect of the joint in the
LX. Sweeping the probe from medial to lateral examines the entire posterior aspect from the medial femoral condyle to the lateral femoral condyle (Figures 6-45 and 6-46).

3. Relevant anatomy: At the midline, the capsule and a small portion of the PCL are visualized.
As you go lateral or medial, femoral condyles and articulating tibial bony interfaces are visual­ized, with some visualization of the menisci.
4. Points to remember: MRI is the best choice for cruciate ligament imaging, and ultrasound does
not give much information about ACL or PCL pathology. Indirect signs of an ACL tear can be seen as a femoral notch sign, PCL wave sign, or capsular protrusion.

Semimembranosus Muscle-Tendon Complex
1. Patient position: Prone
2. Probe/transducer position: The probe is placed transversely across the posteromedial aspect of the knee at the level of the medial femoral condyle (Figure 6-47). For the LX view, the probe is rotated 90 degrees from the SX view to visualize the tendon at its direct insertion site on the tibia (Figure 6-48).

3. Relevant anatomy: The distal semimembranosus muscle-tendon unit reinforces the posterior
aspect of the knee via multiple tendinous expansions. These distal expansions include the oblique popliteal expansion, anterior expansion, and inferior expansion (direct tendon). The oblique popliteal expansion is the most proximal limb that blends with the posterior capsule to form the oblique popliteal ligament. The anterior expansion sends off fibers to the medial meniscus and the MCL. The inferior expansion sends off fibers to the fascia of the popliteus muscle and inserts at the posteroinferior aspect of the medial tibial condyle (direct tendon; Figures 6-49 through 6-51).

4. Points to remember: The semimembranosus is an important structure providing stability to the posteromedial aspect of the knee. When present, the neck/stalk of Baker’s cyst can be seen between the tendon of the semimembranosus and the medial gastrocnemius. Baker’s cyst is essentially a bursal effusion of the semimembranosus and medial gastrocnemius tendon.

Tibial Nerve and Blood Vessels
1. Patient position: Prone
2. Probe/transducer position: The probe is placed transversely at the posterior aspect of the knee
to scan the nerve in the SX view. The probe is moved in a proximal-to-distal direction to visu­alize the sciatic nerve splitting into the tibial and common peroneal counterparts. Once the tibial nerve is confirmed, it can be scanned distally toward the leg (Figure 6-52).

3. Relevant anatomy: After splitting from the main trunk of the sciatic nerve, the tibial nerve courses straight down from the popliteal fossa and passes deep to the gastrocnemius muscle.
4. Points to remember: The branching pattern may differ; therefore, it is recommended to scan the nerve in the SX view in a proximal-to-distal direction to visualize the sciatic nerve split­ting into the tibial and common fibular nerves (Figure 6-53).
