Introduction | History of Empiricism. Empiricism is the theory that the origin of all knowledge is sense experience. It emphasizes the role of experience and evidence, especially sensory perception, in the formation of ideas, and argues that the only knowledge humans can have is a posteriori (i.e. based on experience).
The main anatomic structures of the posterolateral aspect of the knee are the lateral (fibular) collateral ligament (LCL) , the popliteus tendon and the popliteofibular ligament.
The lateral collateral ligaments include the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, talocalcaneal ligament, posterior talocalcaneal ligament and the posterior talofibular ligament. 1  The anterior talofibular ligament passes from the tip of the lateral malleolus to the talus anteriorly.
