German term

Flüssigkeitszwickel

German to English Medical Medical (general) MRI scans of knee joints
Hi, does anyone know what "Flüssigkeitszwickel" may refer to in the sentence below? Am I right in guessing it refers to pockets of fluid within the patient's bone marrow?

"Hoffa-Fettkörper frei bis auf einzigen Flüssigkeitszwickel in der Bursa infrapatellaris profunda"

Thanks and regards,
Alison.

Good :-)) I was just wondering ;-)

.. not located in the bone marrow! Thanks for pointing this out. Sorry, this was from an earlier part of the text, the patient also suffers from bone marrow oedema! ;o)

FWIW, Hoffa's infrapatellar fat pad and the infrapatellar bursa are not located in the bone marrow!
