The polpiteus muscle or popliteus muscle is located on the dorsal surface of the knee joint. The muscle originates at the codylus lateralis of the distal femur. The insertion is on the joint capsule of the knee joint and below the condyle on the posterior surface of the tibia (planum popliteum tibiae). The fascia of the muscle is reinforced by fibers of the ligamentum popliteum arcuatum, the ligamentum cruciatum posterius and the tendon of the musculus semimembranosus.
