English translation:Indentation at the patellar tendon
Explanation:
In addiiton to the discussion entries above..

If this relates in any way to a patellar tendon tear, then this kind of indentation is often described as "An indentation or sunken area beneath your knee in the front" (https://www.mymosh.com/orthopedics/what-you-should-know-abou...
or
"An indentation at the bottom of your kneecap where the patellar tendon tore" (https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/patellar-...

Best to check first with the source document to see whether 'pale a pees' could be a typo/misprint for 'patellapees'!

Original Dutch version was from a voice dictation software, so "pale a pees" should have read "patellapees". Thanking both Ruchira and Barend for their excellent detective work!!

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: Good idea to look further with respect to this 'inzinking'. Even if it isn't a tear (I suspect it is), 'indentation' / 'sunken area' (nice) would still be okay.
