yes...sounds like he's saying either crud or crudge. He then goes on to talk about synovial fluid and shaving, etc.

Is it possible he's just saying bulge ?? nm - GT

Maybe that is what he is saying, not really professional, - but could be. NM

That's what I was wondering NM. After he opens the knee he says "There are small bits of in the knee." Thanks for everyone's help!

Hey...this just popped into my head. Does cartilage sometimes break off? Could he be saying "small bits of cartilage in the knee."? That would explain the CR and GEE sounds I'm hearing. Does anyone know if that could be right? THANKS!

Good idea...sm - GT

Yes, cartilage can come loose and float around inside. It's called a loose body.
