There was a larger grade 3 lesion on the inferior portion of the patella as it seated or seeded? in the trochlear groove at about 45 degrees of flexion. I am thinking seated because it is sitting in the groove? Would this be correct or am I totally wrong here.

correct = nicked (verb: to cut nick into)

onelook.com is a good dictionary source on-line.
Were is correct.
Subject: Were is correct.

As the word remainder represents a portion, the verb to use is determined by the noun in the "of phrase" that follows. In your case, "forms" is plural so use were.

This rule also applies for other "portion" words such as none, all, some, part, etc. Hope this helps.

PS: See 'The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation' by Jane Straus.
