Tibial plateaus is the landmark are you palpating.
The tibial plateau has two articular surfaces, the medial and lateral tibial condyles, also called the medial and lateral plateaus. The medial tibial condyle bears 60% of the knee's weight and is a thicker structure. It is concave in shape and located slightly more distally compared to the lateral tibial condyle.
The tibial plateau is the proximal tibial surface on which the femur rests.
The patella only articulates with the distal end of the femur. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur.
