What's the difference between patellar and popliteal?
Patellar
Definition:

(18) We reviewed 350 knee arthroplasties performed between 1977 and 1984 for patellar problems.
(19) Loosening of the patellar component is likely to be symptomatic and to require surgery in up to 75% of cases.
(20) The paracetamol-induced serum sulfate depletion, observed during the first four weeks of the experiment, led to a significantly lower glycosaminoglycan content of the patellar cartilage of the rats after three and four weeks paracetamol treatment.
Popliteal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the ham; in the region of the ham, or behind the knee joint; as, the popliteal space.
Example Sentences:
(1) The technique of two-plane angiography of femoro-popliteal bypasses with 90 degrees knee flexion is described.
(2) In fact the deep femoral artery represents an exceptional and privileged route for anastomosis that is capable of replacing almost perfectly an obstructed superficial femoral artery and also in a more limited way femoro-popliteal arteries with extensive obstructions.
(3) We report a case of popliteal vein obstruction by an osteochondroma, arising from the proximal tibia, in which the diagnosis was initially missed.
(4) mg and showed an incidence of 57% metastases to regional popliteal nodes and 5% metastases to thymus.
(5) Based on combined quantitative and qualitative analysis of Doppler signals sampled at the common femoral and popliteal artery, the aorto-iliac segments and the femoro-popliteal segments were evaluated separately.
(6) Minor technical errors may jeopardize the patency of femoral-popliteal bypass grafts.
(7) Cellularity and intensity of RNA synthesis in the popliteal lymph nodes of mice treated with different types of antigen injected subcutaneously into the hind footpads were followed.
(8) GO is immunogenic and stimulates the formation of large numbers of GOBC in the popliteal lymph nodes after injection with adjuvant into the footpads of mice, but 1-mg doses injected IV or IP are lethal because of its enzymatic activity, which causes hypoglycemia and methemoglobinemia.
(9) Both acute pain stress and adrenaline resulted in an increased afferent popliteal lymph flow and output of cells from the regional tissues in the first 15 min after administration.
(10) The authors describe a case of mycotic aneurysm of the popliteal artery secondary to Campylobacter jejuni-derived infectious endocarditis treated by excision and in situ femoro tibial venous bypass, and take the opportunity to review 14 literature cases of infectious aneurysm of popliteal artery.
(11) This report evaluates critical points in the management of 30 consecutive blunt traumatic popliteal vascular injuries.
(12) Thus, the non-invasive duplex-sonography is a very appropriate method to diagnose thrombosis of the popliteal region and proximal.
