Suprapatellar pouch

The suprapatellar pouch is the extension of the knee joint cavity above the patella. Sometimes the two are separated by a membrane.

The suprapatellar bursa is also called the suprapatellar bursa.

The illustration on the left is a cross-section through the joint. On the right it is looking at the knee with the skin removed, showing how the joint space is intact and can fill with fluid.
