  2. Patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella

    A patella alta is a high-riding (superiorly aligned) patella. An attenuated patella alta is an unusually small patella that develops out of and above the joint. A patella baja is a low-riding patella. A long-standing patella baja may result in extensor dysfunction. [5] Insall-Salvati ratio (A divided by B). [6]

  3. 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]

  4. 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 ...

  5. Tuberosity of the tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberosity_of_the_tibia

    The tibial tuberosity thus forms the terminal part of the large structure that acts as a lever to extend the knee-joint and prevents the knee from collapsing when the foot strikes the ground. [1] The two ligaments, the patella, and the tibial tuberosity are all superficial, easily palpable structures. [2]

  7. Medial patellofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_patellofemoral_ligament

    The patella rests in the trochlear, which is found in the distal part of the femur. The patella can dislocate from the groove because of trauma or an unnatural twisting of the knee. [5] When dislocated, the soft tissue layer that the patella rests in is damaged; the patella is forced out of its groove and back into place.

  8. Prepatellar bursitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepatellar_bursitis

    In human anatomy, a bursa is a small pouch filled with synovial fluid. Its purpose is to reduce friction between adjacent structures. The prepatellar bursa is one of several bursae of the knee joint, and is located between the patella and the skin. [8] Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of this bursa. Bursae are readily inflamed when ...

  9. 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.
