Does Anyone Have Cysts on the TOP of the Knee cap?
Submitted by JulieRose6 on December 23, 2009 - 7:11am.Hi, I just had a Partial Knee replacement about 7 weeks ago and I have been getting cysts galore. I had 2 a month post op and then within two weeks I have 4 new ones that have grown, they are quite the painful since two of them are really really big. Anyone have these problems? Please help me, I think I stumped my doctor on this one too.
The Kneecap Muddle - how are we going to resolve it?
Submitted by admin on June 20, 2006 - 5:22pm.The medical profession is in a muddle when it comes to the kneecap. We all agree that the medical word for 'kneecap'is 'patella', but there is a great deal of confusion about many of the other words used to discuss patellar problems. So much so in fact that a group of top level knee surgeons - The International Patellofemoral Study Group - met to examine the problem.
The outcome of their discussions was published in French by Dr Jean-Yves DuPont and in English by Dr Ronald Grelsamer.
