This article is mostly nonsense. Also there is no mention of the Hoffa fat pad in the knee which can cause impingement!--84.58.217.239 (talk) 21:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't a "fat pad" basically the same thing as a lipoma? With the exception of the buccal fat pad in babies? I googled this and didn't find an answer; any doctors in the house? Jonah Winters (talk) 23:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Asked my chiro teacher, they're different. For example, there's a fat pad as cushioning at the bottom of the calcaneus, one under the knee, and one inside the cheek of a nursing baby. These are functional, as distinct from the lipomas which are non-functional. Jonah Winters (talk) 17:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
