Patella Dysfunction
The quadriceps tendon connects the thigh muscle to the top of the patella, and the patellar tendon connects the bottom of the patella to a bump on the top of the tibia called the anterior tibial tuberosity. Two lateral bands, the lateral retinaculum and the medial retinaculum, stabilize the patella.
