Which point is on the knee hollow below the patella and lateral to the patellar ligament?

• A. ST 34
• B. ST 35
• C. ST 36
• D. ST 37

Answer: (B)

ST35, known as Dubi, sits in the knee hollow just below the kneecap and on the outer (lateral) side of the patellar ligament. That specific depression is why this point matches the description. The other points are located either higher up on the thigh or further down the leg, not in that knee hollow region, so they don’t fit the described location. To feel it, relax the knee or bend it slightly, place a finger in the hollow below the patella, and move slightly toward the outer side to find the depression beside the patellar ligament.
