Relating to or affecting the knee; of or pertaining to the genu.
From Latin 'genu' (knee) + '-al' (relating to), creating a standard medical adjective for anything involving the knee or knee-like structures.
This is a purely technical term that physicians use instead of 'knee-like' because medical terminology prizes Latin roots as more authoritative and precise-sounding, even when plain English would work fine.
