I would imagine it is just the back of the knee as the knee is the actual joint , the front of the knee is where the knee cap sits.

The Patella is a think triangular bone that protects the front of the knee joint.

Its the arm pit of the knee that I am looking for, would it be called the 'knee pit' perhaps? How would a medical consultant refer to it?

Possibly the popliteal area.

Popliteal - the medical term for the structures located in the back of the knee?

definitely
i have seen a rise in this due to modern dancing.
in fact on saturday night, i myself had to perform 3 kneectomys in a club toilet due to people dancing too vigourously

two things to say firstly bigfizz. im sorry for using your question but i thinkfielakind has answered it well....... secondly rom i dont wish to be rude but are you the surgeon who transplanted the knee just the other week but alas you stitched it up back to front. ?

yes, that was me
i had 1 too many glasses of wine, danced way too much and so went to the toilets to have a bit of a breather and found myself facing a kneeectomy. hmmm, it went a leeeetle bit wrong.
