  2. Patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella

    The patella (pl.: patellae or patellas), also known as the kneecap, is a flat, rounded triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint.

  3. Knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee

    Articular surfaces of femur Articular surfaces of tibia. The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations linking the femur, or ...

  4. Articular capsule of the knee joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articular_capsule_of_the...

    The articular capsule of the knee joint is the wide and lax joint capsule of the knee. It is thin in front and at the side, and contains the patella, ligaments, menisci, and bursae of the knee. [1] The capsule consists of an inner synovial membrane, and an outer fibrous membrane separated by fatty deposits anteriorly and posteriorly. [2]

  5. Medial patellofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_patellofemoral_ligament

    The most likely time for the patella to shift laterally is during the first 20–30 degrees of flexion as the quadriceps tighten simultaneously and pull the patella laterally. Beyond 30 degrees, the quadriceps tendon and patellar ligament pull the patella posterior into the groove of the knee joint making lateral dislocation of the patella ...

  6. Patellar network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_network

    The patellar network (circulatory anastomosis around the knee-joint, patellar anastomosis, genicular anastomosis, articular vascular network of knee [1] or rete articulare genus [2]) is an intricate network of blood vessels around and above the patella, and on the contiguous ends of the femur and tibia, forming a superficial and a deep plexus.

  7. Patellar tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_tendon

    The patellar tendon is a strong, flat ligament, which originates on the apex of the patella distally and adjoining margins of the patella and the rough depression on its posterior surface; below, it inserts on the tuberosity of the tibia; its superficial fibers are continuous over the front of the patella with those of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris.

  8. Patellar dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_dislocation

    Direct trauma to the knee displacing the patella is rare. [3] Displacement of the patella laterally out of its groove strains the medial stabilizing connective tissues, particularly the medial patellofemoral ligament (supporting 50–80% of the knee mechanisms in lateral patellar glide), which is torn usually at its femoral attachment. [3]

  9. Knee pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_pain

    Knee pain is pain in or around the knee. The knee joint consists of an articulation between four bones: the femur , tibia , fibula and patella . There are four compartments to the knee.
