The battle over these 17 Aboriginal skeletons illustrates a growing tension that has developed in recent years between the demands of scientific rationality and the desires of cultural identity.

Knee arthrocentesis may be done via a parapatellar approach (which is generally preferred), , a suprapatellar approach, or an infrapatellar approach. Once the insertion site is chosen, prepare the skin with sterile solution, allow drying, and then drape.
If your pain levels permit, you can move from the supine hooklying position into a gentle spinal twist. Take both knees a little ways to one side - generally this is away from the painful side - and test to see if you can tolerate it. Stay only for a few seconds and bring your legs back up. Repeat on the other side.
