The unit of genetic code, which has three nucleotides that code for amino acids, is called codon. The mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) got attached to the ribosomal complex in the cytoplasm. The transfer RNA conveys amino acids to the ribosomal complex where the pairing of an anticodon of tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) takes place with complementary codon of the messenger RNA. Again, new amino acid is carried by tRNA, which again binds to the complementary codon of mRNA. In this way, amino acids get linked to each other, forming the long chain of the polypeptides.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
