Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...muscle is really inserted into the base of the patella, but it is continued onward as the flat but very strong patellar ligament (Figs. 217 and 222) which passes from the tip of the patella to the tuberosity of the tibia. The patellar ligament, however, is independent of the knee-joint and is not adherent to the capsular ligament; it is one of the thickest ligaments of the body, and it is separated from the upper end of the tibia and from the capsular ligament by fatty tissue and by a constant bursa, the deep infrapatellar bursa (Fig. 222), which does not communicate with the synovial cavity. Both the patella and the actual tendon of the quadriceps, however, directly form a portion of the anterior boundary of the joint, and the anterior portion of the capsular ligament is also reinforced by lateral f1brous continuations of the quadriceps, which are known as the internal and external patellar re.macula (Fig. 217). They arise from the lateral margins of the patella, receive libers from the vasti upon either side (see page 215), and pass downward to the lateral margins of the condyles of the tibia. The synovial folds of the knee-joint are the alar folds (Figs. 219 and 222) and the patellar synovial fold (Fig. 221). The greater portion of the alar folds consist of the fatty tissue which is situated behind the patellar ligament, and is covered by the synovial membrane; they project into the knee-joint from either side of the patella. The patellar synovial fold is a fibrous band of variable size which usually contains a considerable quantity of fat; it arises from the anterior wall of the capsule between the two alar folds, with which it is connected, and is inserted into the intercondyloid fossa of the femur. The largest diverticulum of the synovial membrane of ...
