C.ORTOPEDICA - C

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care Name of hospital department
This is taken from the heading of a hospital report in Spain following a broken arm. The English translation has to be provided to an insurance company in Canada.

The full heading of the report is: INFORME DE TRAUMAT. Y C.ORTOPEDICA - C

The real question is the meaning of the final " - C" following "C. ORTOPEDICA". Is it a generally-used abbreviation, or is it perhaps a subdivision of the orthopaedic surgery department of this particular hospital?
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 cirugia ortopedica - C

Hi Willis What part of the arm?
Rachel Fell Jul 31, 2017:
C for completo?
Helena Chavarria Jul 31, 2017:
The 'C' before 'Ortopédica' might stand for 'Cirugía' and the second 'C' could mean the type of surgery. But I'm only guessing.

cirugia ortopedica - C

as to the C following the word ortopedica, I would leave it as it is, whether it means a Department or something else, is difficult to tell.
Note from asker:
Good suggestion. I left it as it was.
Peer comment(s):

agree Hernan Casasbuenas : I agree with Ellen. I think it is impossible to know what the second C stands for. I think you should leave it as it is.
