The patellar tendon is the structure that connects the kneecap (patella) to the shin bone (tibia). Technically, a ligament is structure that connects bone to bone, and therefore some people refer to this structure as the patellar ligament.
However, this structure is really connecting the quadriceps muscle to the shin bone, and a tendon connects muscle to bone, and therefore patellar tendon is the more common description. The patellar tendon is an important part of the extensor mechanism of the lower extremity. The extensor mechanism includes the quadriceps muscle, quadriceps tendon, patella (kneecap), and patellar tendon. These structures function together to allow the knee to straighten, and can do so with significant force.
