The patella plays a crucial function during the knee extension. It serves as the attachment point for the quadriceps muscle that is the largest muscle of the anterior thigh responsible for the extension of the lower leg at the knee. Additionally, the kneecap is helpful in reducing the friction...
The triangular bone sits upside down, i.e. the pointy bit faces downwards towards the feet, and the quadriceps tendon attaches to the flat upper border of the patella (the base of the triangle).The vastus lateralis muscle attaches to the outer side of the patella and the vastus medialis ...
The patella is the largest sesamoid bone in the body and is part of the extensor mechanism of the knee together with the quadriceps muscle and tendon, patellar tendon, and patellar retinaculum [1]. The bone has two surfaces, three borders, a base, and an apex. The vastus intermedius and ...

It may be beneficial to remove the constant pull of the vastus lateralis tendon (a part of the large quadriceps muscle of the thigh) where it attaches to the bone of the bipartite fragment of the upper, outer patella. Simply cutting this attachment reduces the constant pull on the bony ...
of the vastus lateralis tendon (a part of the large quadriceps muscle of the thigh) where it attaches to the bone of the bipartite fragment of the upper, outer patella. Simply cutting this attachment reduces the constant pull on the bony fragment. Healing of the two fragments may occur as ...
Habitual dislocation of the patella is a rare condition. The causes of habitual patellar dislocation include contracture and fibrosis of the quadriceps femoris, vastus lateralis, and lateral patellar retinaculum, abnormal iliotibial band attachment, repeated intramuscular injections into the thigh, patella ...
Most notably, the authors concluded that the patients who underwent the arthroscopic procedure showed a statistically quicker return of muscle strength and faster knee effusion resolution than the patients in the open procedure group. Most of the outcomes reported for bipartite patella excision are from...
