5. Knee Tendon AnatomyTendons are often overlooked as part of knee joint anatomy. They are they soft tissues found at the end of muscles which link the muscle to bone. The main tendon found at the knee is the patellar tendon which links the quads muscles to the shin bone. The knee ...
The patella, commonly known as the ‘kneecap’, is a sesamoid bone that sits within the tendon of the quadriceps femoris. It serves a protective function for the knee and facilitates movement by acting as a pulley for the quadriceps femoris muscle. The knee joint is quite a complex ...

When you have a muscle, tendon, ligament or bursa injury,there is reduced blood flow to the injury site- inflammation and reduced movement (lack of activity or on-going immobility) will reduce the flow of blood - and if you think about it, this makes sense. If you are moving your injur...
Tendon tissue connects bone to muscle. The knee’s largest tendon is the patellar tendon. The patella tendon begins at the thigh’s quadriceps muscles and extends downward, attaching patella to the front of the tibia. When the quadriceps muscles contract the patellar tendon is pulled and the le...
Patellar tendon - Extends from the patella to the tibia Muscles: The quadriceps and hamstrings are the primary muscle groups controlling knee movement. The quadriceps extend the knee, while the hamstrings facilitate flexion. An error occured here. Please refresh or try again later. What to Read...
There are two important tendons in the knee. The quadriceps tendon connects your quadriceps muscle, on the front of your thigh, to the kneecap. The patellar tendon connects the kneecap to the tibia (it's technically a ligament since it connects two bones). ...
