It helps connect the thigh muscles and fascia to the kneecap (patella) and surrounding structures. Clinicians most often discuss it when evaluating patellar tracking, patellofemoral pain, or kneecap instability. It can also be involved in certain knee procedures when it is too tight, scarred, or injured."}
