Patella
Is the largest sesamoid bone in the body.
The patella articulates with the articular surface of the trochlea of the femur. This is the sesamoid bone associated with the tendon of the m. quadriceps femoris
Infrapatellar fat body
Patellar ligament
Sesamoid bones in the medial and lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle
Sesamoid bone of popliteus muscle
Tibial tuberosity
Femoral condyles
Superimposed ridges of femoral trochlea
