[10]: 210 The suprapatellar bursa is prevented from being pinched during extension by the articularis genus muscle. [12]
The suprapatellar plica dividing the suprapatellar recess; The infrapatellar plica, in front of the anterior cruciate ligament, reaches from the intercondylar notch to the infrapatellar fat pad; The medial patellar plica, located adjacent to the patella's medial facet, runs vertically along the medial joint capsule
