Which point on the knee is in the hollow formed when the knee is flexed, immediately below the patella and lateral to the patellar ligament?

Which point on the knee is in the hollow formed when the knee is flexed, immediately below the patella and lateral to the patellar ligament?

• A. ST 36
• B. ST 34
• C. ST 35
• D. ST 33

Answer: (C)

The part being tested is the precise knee location of the stomach channel point known as Stifle. This point sits in the hollow formed when the knee is flexed, specifically immediately below the kneecap and on the outside (lateral) of the patellar ligament. That exact description—hollow under the patella, lateral to the patellar ligament—identifies this point. This location is distinct from the others: one point lies higher up on the thigh near the patellar area, another sits on the shin below the knee, and the remaining is farther from the knee region. So the described knee hollow corresponds to the Stifle point on the stomach channel.
