The following statements are true of the patella, except:
Decreases pressure and distribute forces on the femur
It is unable to prevent damaging forces on the quadriceps tendon in resisted knee flexion

When knee is flexed, it provides bony protection to the distal joint surfaces of the femoral condyles
The fibula functions as follows:
Give origin to muscles
Act as a lateral "splint" for the ankle joint
Acts as a puller for tendons passing behind it at the ankle
