I'm sorry to dispute this, Peggy, but Ricardo is VERY VERY good.  I have met 
him personally on more than one occasion.  My understanding from people in 
my local club is that he has a doctorate in animal anatomy/physiology, but 
either way he is incredibly knowledgeable and accurate.  He is quite 
literally renowned world-wide for this.  I hardly think if he casually 
stated errors constantly that this would be so.

The femur is the upper stifle, the tibia is the lower.

The only thing I can think of that may have caused any confusion is Ricardo 
is from Argentina, and does speak English as a 2nd language.

If you'd like, I'll email him and ask him to clarify this for you.

Liz
