4.2 Read the case history below and answer the questions that follows.
The general practitioner {GP) applied an ice pack to the damaged right knee of Peter, an
injured marathon runner. He also prescribed some oral analgesics and referred him to a
local orthopaedist. A series of knee arthrograms suggested severe tearing of the lateral
meniscus. Peter was given a local anaesthetic in the knee area, as part of a preoperative
procedure for arthroscopy. In addition to a torn lateral meniscus, a rupture in the ACL
(anterior cruciate ligament) was also observed arthroscopically. The orthopaedist
concluded that arthroplasty of the knee was required. Several small new incisions were
made in the knee, and a variety of arthroscopic surgical instruments were inserted into the
knee joint cavity. The orthopedic surgeon sutured the torn lateral meniscus, but he decided
to replace the damaged ACL with a graft.
4.2.1 Write the meaning of the medical terms shown in bold print.

4.2.2 Write the word root, prefix, and suffix of the underlined words
(where appropriate)
