The lateral patellar ligament ex- tends from the lateral part of the anterior surface of the patella to the lateral part of the tuberosity of the tibia. It receives a strong tendon from the biceps femoris muscle and also part of the fascia lata. The middle patellar ligament extends from the front of the apex of the patella to the distal part of the groove on the tuberosity of the tibia; a bursa is interposed between the ligament and the upper part of the groove, and a smaller one occurs between the upper part of the ligament and the apex of the patella. The medial patellar ligament is attached above to the 'â ^ Proximal end of Shaft femoro-patellar of capsule femur Lateral head of gasirocnetnius Lateral femoro-patellar ligament Attachment nf joint capsu, Lateral condyle of femur Lateral femoro-tibial ligameniâ^ Popliteus Wi Deep digit:d flexor.

It is joined by the common aponeurosis of the gracilis and sartorius, and its proximal part furnishes insertion to fibers of the vastus medialis. These so-called ligaments are, in reality, the tendons of insertion of the quadriceps femoris and biceps femoris muscles, and transmit the action of the latter to the tibia; they also function similarly for the other muscles attached to them as noted above. It will be noticed that the proximal att
