    Study Notes

    • Patellar retinacular fibres are extensions of fibrous connective tissue.
    • They have attachments to various parts of the knee.
    • Tight retinaculum can have clinical implications and may require surgery.
    • The lateral collateral ligament, popliteofibular ligament, popliteus tendon, and lateral meniscus reinforce the lateral capsule.
    • The posterior capsule is reinforced by the oblique popliteal and arcuate popliteal ligaments.
    • The medial collateral ligament and medial capsule are located in the middle 1/3 of the knee.
    • The sartorius and gracilis tendons are cut to better expose the medial collateral ligament and medial capsule.
    • The anterior 1/3 of the knee has medial patellar retinacular fibres.
    • The posterior 1/3 of the knee has muscles.
    • The popliteus muscle is located deep in the popliteal fossa.
