Innervation of the tendon of m. quadricipitis, retinaculorum and lig. patellae with some additional data on the anatomy of n. femoralis

Abstract

The question about the innervation of the tendon m. quadricipitis and its extensions-retinaculorum et lig. patellae, besides its anatomical value, is of great importance for physiology and clinic of nervous diseases, because the position of reflex arches of knee and hamstring reflexes is determined by the relevant studies. I have not found any literary material on this issue, so I will limit myself to referring to the authors who describe nerve branches in the area of the knee joint in passing with the data obtained by my personal research.
