Quadriceps tendon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In human anatomy, the quadriceps tendon connects the quadriceps femoris muscles to the superior aspects of the patella on the anterior of the thigh and controls knee flexion and extension.
It can rupture resulting in quadriceps tendon rupture.[1]
It has been studied in the analysis of patellofemoral pain syndrome.[2]
