It consists of three layers: • The deep fascia forming the superficial layer • Contributions from the vastus lateralis obliquus, quadriceps aponeurosis, and iliotibial band forming the intermediate layer (including the lateral patellofemoral ligament) • The joint capsule accounting for the deep layer • ➡️References: • Radiographics. 2023 Jun;43(6):e220177 • Skeletal Radiol. 2018 Aug;47(8):1069-1086 • Visualizing MSK Radiology: A Practical Guide to Radiology Mastery • © 2022 MSK MRI Jee Eun Lee All Rights Reserved. • No unauthorized reproduction, redistribution, or use for AI training. • #LateralPatellofemoralComplex, #KneeAnatomy, #PatellofemoralLigament, #PatellofemoralInstability, #PatellofemoralPain, #KneeInjuries, #OrthopedicSurgery, #RetinacularRelease, #QuadricepsAnatomy, #IliotibialBand
