    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • The fibular collateral ligament (FCL) is a key knee stabilizer.
    • Palpation and visual identification of the FCL can be challenging for clinicians and students.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a specific posture for isolated palpation and visual identification of the fibular collateral ligament.
    • To provide a method beneficial for anatomical education and clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel patient positioning technique was developed.
    • The technique facilitates direct palpation and visual assessment of the FCL.

    Main Results:

    • The described posture allows the fibular collateral ligament to be palpated as an isolated structure.
    • Visual identification of the ligament is also achievable with this posture.

    Conclusions:

    • This posture offers a practical method for examining the fibular collateral ligament.
    • It serves as a valuable tool for both clinical examination and anatomical learning.
