tibial tuberosity
The patella has a base which is the attachment for the quadriceps tendon and the apex (more pointed end) which is the attachment for the patellar ligament which attaches the patella to the tibia.
TIBIAL TUBEROSITY
The patella is the round bone on the anterior of the knee. You can palpate the surface of the knee and you can gently shift the patella bone side to side. The insertion of the patella bone is quadricep ligament which attaches to the proximal end of the tibia. The origin of the patella is the quadricep tendon. The quadriceps consist of four muscles: rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the vastus lateralis.

The two tendons that are attached to the patella are: the quadriceps tendon, which attaches above, and the patellar tendon, which attaches on the bottom

The patellar ligament connects the patella (kneecap) to your anterior tibia (shin bone).
