The popliteal space is the small hollow at the back of the knee joint. It is bounded by the hamstrings muscle group on the sides and the knee joint capsule and skin at the back. The cruciate ligaments are ligaments within the knee joint that attach the femur to the tibia. Phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers and toes. The pubis is a bone in the pelvis. None of these options refer to the posterior space behind the knee.
