backofkneesios

[crete]

rom we can now sleep well tonight are you a dr. or maybe a physiothapist ? lol

[nat_84]

I dont know that there is a specific term....

[RATTER15]

I would imagine it is just the back of the knee as the knee is the actual joint , the front of the knee is where the knee cap sits.

[crete]

and that would be the patella.

[rom]

yes, i am actually a doctor of knees
i specialise mostly in peoples knees
its a very fufilling job you know.
i hear alot of interesting stories.

[crete]

so are you an kneesiologist ?

[rom]

Yes, i studied "kneeology" at oxford, gaining a degree in it and went onto become a specialist in that field. i have won awards all over the world, through helping people with knee problems.

[bigfizz]

The Patella is a think triangular bone that protects the front of the knee joint.

Its the arm pit of the knee that I am looking for, would it be called the 'knee pit' perhaps? How would a medical consultant refer to it?

[A Chill Wind]

Possibly the popliteal area.

[crete]

excellent , how many kneeectomies would you do in an average week.?

[rom]

13 or maybe 14 depending on what sort of mood i was in.

[crete]

no popliteal is a large nerve.

[crete]

would you agree with me that because of modern day dancing kneesiitis is on the increase ?

[fielakind]

Popliteal - the medical term for the structures located in the back of the knee?

[rom]

definitely
i have seen a rise in this due to modern dancing.
in fact on saturday night, i myself had to perform 3 kneectomys in a club toilet due to people dancing too vigourously

[crete]

two things to say firstly bigfizz. im sorry for using your question but i thinkfielakind has answered it well....... secondly rom i dont wish to be rude but are you the surgeon who transplanted the knee just the other week but alas you stitched it up back to front. ?

[rom]

yes, that was me
i had 1 too many glasses of wine, danced way too much and so went to the toilets to have a bit of a breather and found myself facing a kneeectomy. hmmm, it went a leeeetle bit wrong.

[crete]
