Summary:A patient with both a femoral attachment injury （peel-off injury） and musculotendinous junction avulsion of the popliteus, a so-called ＂floating popliteus tendon injury＂, received arthroscopy-assisted popliteus reconstruction. The injured ligaments were addressed in the same procedure, including mini-open direct repair of the femoral avulsed fibular collateral ligament （FCL）, suture repair of the grade 3 medial collateral ligament （MCL）, and reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament （PCL~.
