The pelvis is located superiorly (above) to the patella. The patella, commonly known as the kneecap, is situated at the front of the knee joint, while the pelvis forms the lower part of the trunk and supports the spine and connects to the legs. Therefore, the pelvis is anatomically higher in the body than the patella.
