French term

sur toute sa hauteur

French to English Medical Medical (general)
I am translating a medical report about a knee injury and I am unsure about 'sur toute sa hauteur' here:

Installation classique. Décubitus dorsal. Garrot gonfle à la racine de cuisse sur 350mm de Hg Durant 62min. Cuisse dans son appui. Désinfection à l’Isobétadine alcool et champs opératoires mis stérilement. Abord externe pour l’arthroscope et interne pour les instruments.
1 – Compartiment fémoro-patellaire : chondropathie stades III-IV de la rotule sur toute sa hauteur.

Does this mean the whole knee joint?

Thanks

Selected

the (full) length of the patella

in English, the height would be rendered as the length from bottom to top. The chondropathy (diseased cartilage) runs the full length of the patella.

agree SJLD : yes it's the patella - but we would say length rather than height I think - along the entire length of.../patella height is the height of the kneecap in relation to the femur, not how big the actual patella is

I expect you're right SJLD, but it would seem "height" is used too.
