The fracture fragment is attached to the lateral (fibular) collateral ligament, the biceps femoris tendon, or both. The arcuate sign is often a subtle but important finding on knee x-rays and represents an avulsion fracture of the proximal fibula at the site of insertion of the arcuate ligament complex, and is usually associated with cruciate ligament injury (~90% of cases) 2.

MRI is better at detecting mucoid degeneration than arthroscopy, as the surface of the ligament is often intact. Toussaint SP, McCabe S. Baker's cyst imaging. 3. In anterior suprapatellar fat pad impingement syndrome, the cause is usually due to either a developmental cause related to the anatomy of the extensor mechanism or may be related to abnormal mechanics. Clinical findings are nonspecific and can include pain, instability, and joint effusion. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads.
