A healthy young athlete sitting at table with knee at 90deg flexion. What will happen when he fully extends the knee?
Correct Answer: Movement of tibial tuberosity towards lateral border of patella
Description: In sitting posture (when foot is off the ground), full extension leads to knee locking (by lateral rotation of tibia). Hence, tibial tuberosity moves laterally towards the lateral border of patella.
