Spanish term

desviación dorsal

FVA Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical report
Hi everyone,

I came across this term in an A&E report for someone who fell and fractured their wrist. It was in the "exploraciones complementarias" section:

"Rx de muñeca fractura impactada desviación dorsal de tercio distal del radio"

I've translated it as "dorsal deviation" but I'm wondering if there is a more appropriate way to phrase it in this context.


I'd appreciate your thoughts.

The report was issued in Spain and the target audience is in the UK.

Thanks,

Nisah

peer review You have to be careful about this "peer review" process (in general ... I'm not saying in this case) because the peers may not know much more than the asker and sometimes give an Agree to an inappropriate suggestion. At the very least, you have to review the peer reviewers to make sure their opinions are reliable.

Hi Neil,
It's not that I can't be bothered waiting to grade the best response it's just that sometimes I don't know what the best response is, so I thought I'd try this. It seemed a nice idea to me to have the answers "peer-reviewed" and the best one picked collectively. It's the first time I've noticed/chosen this option and I had no intention of causing controversy, I just thought it might be a fairer way of picking a "best answer".

If askers can't be bothered to wait a few days and grade the best response, well then I, for one, can't be bothered to contribute.
It's a give-and-take relationship.
