The trochlear fossa is a concave structure located on the anterior surface of the medial condyle of the femur. It serves as a groove for the passage of the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, specifically for the patellar tendon. This anatomical feature plays a crucial role in the knee joint mechanics, allowing for smooth movement and stability during activities such as walking and running. Its design helps to facilitate the proper alignment and tracking of the patella during knee flexion and extension.
