Medical - Medical (general) / Extract from doctors/surgeons' report re surgery on knee joint (tear to lateral meniscus)
Norwegian (Bokmal) term or phrase: retropatellart
Hei! I have the sentence below in a translation, the patient admitted for day surgery is suffering from the following:

"Han er i det daglige plaget av smerter i mediale delen av kneet samt retropatellart."

I can't pinpoint what is meant by "retropatellart" here. Is it an abbreviation, or possibly just a typo? Could anyone shed any light?

Mange takk!
