I think the sentence portion is correct, he is examining basically the knee cap and joint, you would use "suprapatellar" instead of suprapatella, because in this case he is using "suprapatellar" to modify the noun bursa (like which bursa? the suprapatellar bursa). Any help at all??? (hope so, I think you are doing great, don't be discouraged ever, we all start out fresh!)
