Abstract:
Visualization of the transverse geniculate ligament of the knee in four patients is described. This normal variant was seen on lateral plain radiographs as a small, rounded opacity surrounded by fatty tissue and located anterior to the knee joint. Magnetic resonance imaging helped confirm this image to be that of the transverse geniculate ligament.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed to...
