Suprapatellar/quad tendon (Short axis)

Position: Knee extended, partially bent.

Location: Place the transducer transverse over the superior patella region. Once the quadriceps tendon is identified, scan proximally to evaluate the rectus femoris. Note the vastus medialis (medial) and vastus lateralis (lateral) as they come into view proximally.
