This anatomy diagram of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the patella illustrates the rough anterior surface for tendon attachment and the smooth posterior articular surface that contacts the femur. It highlights the medial and lateral facets and their role in knee stability. Understanding patellar anatomy is essential in diagnosing patellofemoral pain syndrome and dislocations. This visual reference supports musculoskeletal anatomy learning and orthopedic evaluation. Anterior and Posterior Surfaces of the Patella Diagram - Chart - diagrams and charts with labels.
