Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The front side is called facies anterior. It has a convex curvature and is completely covered by the tendon of the musculus quadriceps femoris. The facies posterior is divided into two halves by a depression (sulcus intercondylaris). The lateral side is wider than the medial side. The angle between the two halves varies, but is usually between 120° and 140°. Two thirds of the posterior surface is covered with articular cartilage.
