Anatomy of Knee The knee is composed of 4 bones: the femur‚ tibia‚ fibula and patella. Every one of these bones are practical in the knee joint‚ aside from the fibula. The patellar tendon elongates from the inferior pole of the patella‚ as an extension of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle to the tibial tuberosity. The role of the patella tendon is to transfer the force of the quadriceps muscles‚ much like a rope around a pulley‚ as your knee straightens. (John Miller‚ 2015) Definition
