, retinaculum, fat pad and capsule produced moderate to severe pain that was accurately localized. The insertion sites onto the tibia and femur of the cruciate ligaments produced poorly... on the results of these studies, it appears that the majority of patellofemoral symptoms may be originating from the anterior synovial tissues, retinaculum, fat pad and capsule, rather

The VMO is important not only in contributing to knee extension (specifically, terminal knee extension), but also enhancing stability via its role in preventing excessive lateral tracking of the patella. The vast majority of patellar tracking problems are related to tight iliotibial bands and lateral retinaculum and a weak VMO.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition that is caused by compression of the tibial nerve or its branches.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is analogous to carpal tunnel syndrome of the wrist.
The tarsal tunnel is a narrow space that lies on the inside of the ankle.
The tunnel is covered with a thick ligament called the flexor retinaculum.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by the compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is formed by the carpal bones below and the flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament) above (the “roof”). The contents of the carpal tunnel include finger flexor tendons and the median nerve.
CTS can result from any mechanism
