Point where the patellar ligament attaches?

The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.


What bone contains the apex and base?

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.


What Ligament attaches the fibula and tibia to the knee cap?

The ligament that attaches the fibula and tibia to the kneecap is called the patellar ligament. It connects the patella (kneecap) to the tibial tuberosity (a bony prominence on the tibia).

What is the insertion tendon of patella?

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.
