That bump, called the tibial tubercle, is where the patellar tendon attaches. By moving it, surgeons can change how the kneecap (patella) tracks and how forces load the front of the knee. It is commonly used in patellofemoral (kneecap) instability and certain patterns of patellofemoral pain or cartilage wear."}
