    Preventing Job-Site Knee Injuries by Steven D. Bond Fine Homebuilding
    We all recognize that construction is a dangerous occupation, and some accidents are unavoidable. Still, I see a lot of patients whose problems could have been prevented, or at the very least minimized, without much effort. A clean job site and a little maintenance to the tradesman's most important tool, his or her body, go a long way toward preventing injuries.

    Knee pads don't help if you leave them in the truck
    Working on your knees is a setup to develop prepatellar bursitis, commonly called housemaid's or preacher's knee. I would call it tilesetter's or drywaller's knee.
