Figure 6-16. (A) LX view over the patellar tendon showing the location of the deep
infrapatellar bursa (white arrow). There is minimal fluid. (B) Same view with increased probe pressure causing disappearance of the minimal fluid seen before.
4. Points to remember: Lots of gel and very light transducer pressure is required to scan these subcutaneous bursae because increased pressure will force the fluid away from the probe, and therefore, bursal f luid may not be visualized. In a normal state, these bursae are not visible.
An anatomic variant of the bipartite or tripartite patellae may be present, which can be confused with a fracture or breach in the continuity of the bony surface of the patella. This anatomic variant is caused by nonunion of an accessory ossification center of the patella. Misinterpretation can be avoided with thorough history taking, clinical correlation, and, in some cases, follow-up radiographs.
Hoffa’s fat pad should not be confused with deep infrapatellar bursal effusion because the fat pad between the distal patellar tendon and the tibia can sometimes appear hypoechoic. Any abnormal signal should be confirmed in the SX view. Deep infrapatellar bursal effusion, when present, is accompanied with posterior enhancement artifact.
Knee 171
Medial and Lateral Patellar Retinaculum
1. Patient position: Supine with the knee extended and resting on the table
2. Probe/transducer position: The probe is placed along the medial retinaculum bridging the
patella and the medial femoral condyle (Figure 6-17). For the lateral retinaculum, the probe is placed along the lateral retinaculum bridging the patella and the lateral femoral condyle (Figure 6-18).

3. Relevant anatomy: The patellar retinaculum appears as a bilaminar structure that stabilizes the patella in the transverse plane (Figure 6-19). With the knee extended, the medial patellar facet can be seen by pushing the patellar medially from the lateral edge. The medial patellar retinacu­lum is longer and laxer than the lateral patellar retinaculum, which allows the visualization of the medial patellar facet by pushing the patella medially from the lateral edge of the bone (Figure 6-20). The lateral patellar facet cannot be visualized by pushing the medial edge laterally.

Figure 6-20. Medial patellar facet. (A)
Initial probe placement is similar to medial retinaculum scanning. After pushing the patella medially, the probe is hooked under the patella so that the beam is directed toward the medial patellar facet. (B) Cartilage-lined medial patellar facet (red arrow) and overlying retinaculum (white arrow).

4. Points to remember: It is important to remember when placing the probe along the patellar
retinaculum that the orientation of the probe is along the fiber length and not in SX/transverse orientation with respect to the knee.
MEDIAL KNEE
Medial Joint and Meniscus
1. Patient position: Supine with the leg externally rotated and the knee flexed approximately 30
degrees with a pillow or roll on the lateral aspect of the knee for slight valgus stress
2. Probe/transducer position: For the LX view of the medial joint space, the probe is placed lon-
gitudinally to bridge the femur and tibia (Figure 6-21).

3. Relevant anatomy: The medial meniscus in the medial joint space appears as a hyperechoic triangular structure (Figure 6-22).

ligament; PCL = posterior cruciate ligament; sMCL = superficial medial collateral ligament.)
4. Points to remember: Ultrasound provides a limited view of the medial meniscus and therefore cannot assess the extent of meniscal pathology. Other imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are preferred when meniscal pathology is in question.
Knee 175
Medial Collateral Ligament, Posterior Oblique Ligament, Adductor Magnus Tendon, and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament
1. Patient position: Supine with the leg externally rotated and the knee flexed approximately 30
degrees with a pillow or roll on the lateral aspect of the knee for slight valgus stress
2. Probe/transducer position: The probe is placed in the LX along the MCL (Figures 6-23 and
6-24).

3. Relevant anatomy: The MCL is a bilaminar structure composed of the dMCL and the sMCL (see Figure 6-22). The dMCL can be divided into the meniscofemoral and meniscotibial liga­ments. The dMCL blends with the medial meniscus. The f ootprint of the sMCL at the femo­ral insertional area is about 3 cm from the medial joint line, and the footprint at the tibial insertional area is about 6.3 cm from the medial joint line. The footprint of the dMCL at the femoral insertional area is about 2 cm from the joint line, and the footprint of the dMCL at the tibial insertional area is about 0.7 cm from the joint line.

The posterior oblique liga­ment (POL) attachment is just posterior to the sMCL attachment at the femur (Figures 6-25 through 6-27).

about 3 cm from the medial joint line, and the footprint at the tibial insertional area is about 6.3 cm from the medial joint line. The footprint of the dMCL at the femoral insertional area is about 2 cm from the joint line, and the footprint of the tibial insertional area is about 0.7 cm from the joint line. attachment at the femur.

4. Points to remember: The MCL is wider at the joint level, and the posterior portion of the sMCL blends with the medial meniscus.2 The MCL is tight at 30 degrees of flexion, and the POL is tight in extension. The POL, adductor magnus tendon, and medial patellofemoral ligament can be scanned medially (Figures 6-28 through 6-31).
