On anterior approach athroscopy, the scope is inserted anteriorly.  Does it range posteriorly, or drain posteriorly?  Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.

Subject: feel stupid asking this but seated or seeded? Arthroscopic knee surgery

There was a larger grade 3 lesion on the inferior portion of the patella as it seated or seeded? in the trochlear groove at about 45 degrees of flexion. I am thinking seated because it is sitting in the groove? Would this be correct or am I totally wrong here.
