...Manhattan's Hospital for Special Surgery, X rays taken after air and dye had been injected into the joint showed that the main trouble was on the inside. The medial meniscus, one of the two pads of cartilage that lie between the thigh and shinbone (see diagram), was torn and rolled back in a tight wad. This explained why Namath had not been able to straighten his leg completely: just as a folded newspaper stuck between a door and its jamb will keep the door ajar, so the ball of cartilage kept Na-math's knee hinge from...

And if the patient should need further major surgery, the plug can be unscrewed all the way, giving the surgeon direct access to the inside of the eyeball. As for the inside, where...

These arteries unite at the base of the brain to form the basilar artery, and in a healthy person they supply up to 20% of the brain's blood. Normally, the blood in the vertebral arteries flows in one direction: upward, to the brain...
