Popliteus Tendon Evaluation [Back of the knee pain]

Popliteus tendon issues are quite common and hard to evaluate.
👉The popliteus tendon originates at the lateral femoral chondyle and goes inferior and medial to attach at the posterior medial and proximal tibia.
👉It helps to unlock the knee when in full extension
👉It also helps with tibial internal rotation
Remember, the hamstrings cross this area and the popliteus also has some fibrous attachment to the lateral meniscus.

Excellent troubleshooting skills👈🙏. After 1 year and No troubleshooting where the pain is from my doctor's at Kaiser they just gave me a cortisone shot every 4 months I finally had enough of these doctors and went to the YouTube doctors to search how chiropractors fix knee issues and found several videos. My wife followed exactly how you did it and I found out it was that area and now it's fixed after one year of pain fixed in 10 minutes.
I can't thank you enough and may God bless you forever❤👈🙏

In 2020 September im had an ACL reconstruction. I then started physio therapy around the 3rd of December. 2/3 months later so around March, I was sprinting and then hyperextend my operated knee. Ever since then iv having pain toward the back right side of my knee. Iv done an MRI scan they said nothings torn. The pain isn’t going away though.

I understand the problem but what is the best way to solve it?

[FRANKIEROBINSON-vofr]

Hi Dr. this video is exactly what I need!! My PT will not focus on what I’m trying to tell him as it relates to my knee. But I will use your video as a reference - hopefully it will help.

Thank you!❤

Hello doctor, how are you? I want to talk to you about the injury that happened to me behind the knee. I think it is the popliteus muscle.

[zitadiaz]

Perguntas inutils. Eu sou encima de 54 anos. Estou satisfeita com meu corpo. Acho até perfeito. Só estou curiosa o que voce tem a dizer!

[Josepowerzoro]

This is the worst injury I ever had before track and field and I missing track meets already plus this is my last year of highschool :(

[rejna]

I want to know about a similar pain but on the other side (inside) of the knee

[shriconstructions]

Kindly note one thing. Text is coming in front of the leg demonstration. How would one see what u r doing.

[scwheeler]

When I sleep and that leg is straight in my sleep, I move to roll over and Omgosh the pain is excruciating for about 30 seconds then slowly backs off till I can bend it. I try not to sleep with it straight but sometimes idk. But mine is only at night

[gbsk]

i alreasdy knew I had this. what exercises help this? what remedies are there?

[dsmith]

Well, I definitely have this. What do I do now?

[smhpeip]

Hy Doctor i have same that one on the video where can i get help to fix my knee

[moymoysoqt]

Hey doc, i had an issue with my back knee and it is so swollen everytime i walk, run i still feel the pain. then i go x-ray but the doctor said it doesn’t have fracture but it is till hurts… what should i do doc?

[joeysanchez]

Man, I've had ACL replacement, and meniscus stitched. A year later they just shaved medial and lateral meniscus. And I thought I was ready I felt great other than a slight pain/discomfort with full flexion. Like I couldn't sit on my shins/feet with my knees bent. I should have thought about that more when I started riding bikes. I took a really slight fall. Slipped the bike out, but you know how a fall can go. I just crunched up into a ball so I can slide out with the bike. No crazy initial pain but I tried getting up and there was pain in the back of my knee when I extend to about 10 -15 degrees. I was able to slowly get it all the way extended but I couldn't bare any weight. Now I'm walking around "mindfully" but going down stairs or internally rotating my leg at various degrees of flexion will hurt and bring that pain when trying to fully extend

[jasminsabry]

Hello Doctor im 20 years old and can barely walk right anymore. Recently something happened to me not even sure what, but now I cannot fully extend it without pain. Really hoping it’s nothing serious. I tried going to a doctor a couple weeks ago and they told me it would get better in a week now fast forward im in more oain then ever before. I am so tired of trying to find a doctor that actually wants to help me and not just get me in and out of there office. If you have any insight anything is helpful as I can barely walk to my college classes. Thank you for hearing me out.
