Please Help

Hello Folks,
anyone knows the name of this structure?
deep and medially located considering patellar tendon.
best,
Jair

    Hi folks, thanks everyone who answered. I appreciate your help.
    There were some answers as following:
    Fala Jair!

    1 – Eu acho que é uma variação anatômica do tendão patelar… algumas
    fibras ficaram pelo caminho.
    A outra possibilidade seria um ligamento patelotibial medial mais baixo e
    lateralizado. Esse geralmente não é o local certinho que ele insere na
    tíbia…. era para ser mais proximal e medial, mas vai ver que esse daí não
    leu o manual.
    (arbitrary translation – I think it’s a patellar tendon variation. some
    fibers just left on its way. Another would be a lower and more lateral
    medial patellotibial ligament. This is usually not it´s insertion tibial
    attachment site. It should be more proximal and medial, but maybe it hasn’t
    readen the instructions.)

    2- best guess is this

    http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1930043319303188#bbib0006

    “Uncrossed double patellar tendon”

    ” one deep bundle demonstrating a more conventional patellar tendon course,
    paralleled by a second anatomically-distinct superficial bundle of
    differing morphology coursing anterolateral to the deep conventional bundle”

    3 – Medial patellotibial ligament?

    4 – JMUS Jair made-up slip (🙄)

    5 – Likely an unusual configuration of the infrapatellar plica, or a new
    yet to be named “accessory patella tendon of Jair”. (😁)

    6 – It looks like part of the tendon as I’ve never seen a plica there. Hope
    to learn something new from responses. P. S. Tiny edema focus in patella
    may be related

    Summarizing, mostly our colleagues’ thoughts are pointing to medial
    patellotibial ligament. I´m linned to think that this is an unusual
    patellar tendon fiber, out of place, as answer 1 from Rodrigo Aguiar. Any
    other inputs are more than welcome.

    Best, thanks,
    Jair
