    The tuberosity of the tibia gives attachment to the patellar ligament, which attaches to the patella from where the suprapatellar ligament forms the distal tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscles. The quadriceps muscles consist of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius.

    It inserts onto the posterior surface of tibia, above the soleal line. [1] The popliteus tendon runs beneath the lateral collateral ligament and tendon of biceps femoris. The muscle also runs above the lateral meniscus but has no connection with the meniscus in 45% of the cases, but has strong connection with it in 17.5% of the cases. Therefore ...
