Preferred Label : patellar ligament;
MeSH definition : A band of fibrous tissue that attaches the apex of the PATELLA to the lower part of
the tubercle of the TIBIA. The ligament is actually the caudal continuation of the
common tendon of the QUADRICEPS FEMORIS. The patella is embedded in that tendon. As
such, the patellar ligament can be thought of as connecting the quadriceps femoris
tendon to the tibia, and therefore it is sometimes called the patellar tendon.;
