the quadrceps tendon becomes the patellar tendon after passing the patellar? So the patellar tendon is only in theninferior of the patella? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.119.200 (talk) 20:57, 26 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

@69.113.119.200: The term patellar ligament (or tendon) is quite confusing, and it should refer only to the segment of the quadriceps tendon between the patella and its attachment on the tibia. The patella is a sesamoid bone, which means that it develops within a tendon (the quadriceps tendon). As a consequence, the patella separates this tendon in two segments, one proximal to the patella and one distal to it (the patellar ligament). I hope this answered your question ;). --Tilifa Ocaufa (talk) 07:17, 27 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Patellar ligamentPatellar tendon – Ligaments connect bone to bone.[1] Tendons connect bone to muscle.[2] This structure is a continuation of the quadriceps tendon, with the patella ossifying after birth as a sesamoid bone.[3] It is possible to find scholarly sources that use the term "patellar ligament" and others that use the term "patellar tendon", so it is difficult for either name to follow WP:COMMONNAME. However, based on the definitions of each term, and embryological development, it may be more appropriate to use the term "patellar tendon". This also distinguishes it from the other knee ligaments, supporting WP:CRITERIA. Bibeyjj (talk) 11:47, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Relisting. -- Calidum 04:12, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
