A kneecap isn't really that big of a target, especially when it's moving about.

The Common Peroneal Nerve, running from just above the mid-thigh line to just above the knee on the outside of the thigh is a bigger target. Plus, a solid, authoritative whack on the Common Peroneal will often cause a sympathetic reaction in the same nerve on the other leg, causing the critter to lose all muscle control below the waist.

The downside to this strike is that it relies on nerve shock to take the critter out of the fight, whereas shattering the kneecap destroys the structural ability of the leg to hold weight.
