Background: The articularis genus muscle pulls the suprapatellar pouch upwards when the knee joint is extended, preventing mechanical impingement of the joint capsule which theoretically could cause anterior knee pain. However, few anatomical studies have addressed this muscle. Here we present the precise morphology of articularis genus. Material...

... The suprapatellar bursa is located proximal to the patella and deep to the quadriceps muscle, with proximal attachments to the articularis genus, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius muscles [6,17]. In addition, the suprapatellar bursa traffics with the knee joint cavity and contributes to enlargement of the joint cavity [6,13]. The suprapatellar bursa reportedly shows a double-folded structure in knee joint extension, and this double-membrane structure changes to a single-membrane structure as the knee flexes [8]. ...
