Background

The patella is the largest sesamoid bone and lacks a true periosteum. It's located anterior to the knee, embedded within the patellar tendon, serving as an attachment site for quadriceps and patellar tendons[1,2].

  Patellar morphology is described by the Wiberg classification. It's clinically relevant because posterior patella articulates with the femoral trochlear groove.
