The popliteus is a small muscle that runs behind the knee. Due to its small size compared to the hamstrings above and the calf below, it is often overlooked in knee and lower leg injuries. It also isn't a very strong muscle, which adds to its relative obscurity. It is, however, of paramount importance to athletes.
There are four ligaments in the knee that are prone to injury. 1  Mentioned above, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the two major ligaments in the knee. 2  It connects the thigh bone to the shin bone. 3  ACL injuries are a common cause of disability in the knee and are more common in women than men.ut too much stress on these ligaments can cause them to stretch too far-or even snap. ACL and other ligament injuries can be caused by: 1  Twisting your knee. 2  Getting hit on the knee. 3  Extending the knee too far. 4  Jumping and landing on a flexed (bent) knee. 5  Stopping suddenly when running.
