Description[edit | edit source]
Articularis genu it is a very small muscle considered as a fifth head of Quadriceps muscle,and it is discovered to havean important mechanical role in the knee.
Origin[edit | edit source]
Distal femur deep to vastus intermedius.[1]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
Suprapatellar bursa and the joint capsule
Nerve[edit | edit source]
Medial deep division of femoral nerve (L2-L4)
Artery[edit | edit source]
Lateral femoral circumflex artery.
Function[edit | edit source]
- Elevate supraspinatus bursa during knee extension.
- Prevent synovial membrane impingement between femur and patella.
Clinical relevance[edit | edit source]
This muscle is so important during knee flexion and extension,as when knee extended it pull suprapatellar bursa up so it prevent it is impingement between femur and tibia so if these muscle didn't work that causes suprapatellar bursitis which is painful condition occured during knee movement.
