	Patella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The patella or kneecap is a thick, triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers and protects the front of the knee joint.
		The vastus lateralis and vastus medialis are attached to lateral and medial borders of patella respectively.
		The patella increases the leverage that the tendon can exert on the femur by increasing the angle at which it acts.

	Attenuated patella alta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attenuated Patella Alta is an extremely rare condition affecting mobility and leg strength.
		It is characterized by an unusually small knee cap (patella) that develops out of and above the joint.
		Normally, as the knee cap sits in the joint, it is stimulated to growth by abrasion from the opposing bones.

		The proximally retracted patella was brought back to its anatomic position, and the tendon stumps were repaired and protected with multiple strands of strong circlage wire, in a figure-of-8 pattern, from the quadriceps tendon to the tibial tubercle.
		In all cases there was attenuated scar tissue between the distal pole of the patella and the distal stump of the tendon.
		With the knee in full extension, the patella was brought distally to approximate the distal stump of the tendon to the tissue stump of the inferior pole of the patella, using traction with a bone hook or bone-grasping forceps.

		At this stage, the patella and lateral capsular pouch are reflected to permit dissection of the synovium from the lateral femoral condyle.
		Since the center of the dome is symmetric and since the central ridge on the normal patella is asymmetrically displaced towards the medial side, placing the dome symmetrically on the cut surface of the patella functionally lateralizes the central ridge of the dome compared to the original anatomic position.

		The patella is also commonly known as the kneecap, and problems with the patella are among the most common causes of knee pain.
		A high-riding patella is called patella alta, and can be associated with instability of the patella, as it is not well-engaged in the trochlear sulcus with the knee near full extension (straight).
		Below are four arthroscopic views of the patella from top-down (head to toes view), which show malalignment, and cautery of the margins of the release to reduce post-operative bleeding.
