threaded Explanation: I translated a couple of orthopedic surgery instructions (EN>DE) and never came across any "pig tail" parts in English texts; I think they would just refer to a threaded hole/screw/drill bit etc. |

pigtail Explanation: 'Confection d’un avant-trou **à la queue de cochon**' this sounds like a tool for making a hole prior to introducing something like a catheter but it is nowhere mentionned that it is a catheter. 'avant trou' means pre-hole. So I believe this is something like a wine bottle opener (pigtail) that is used surgically. Under pigtail, I found pigtail probe and pigtail catheter. In this case it is not specified whether it is a probe, a cutter or a catheter. Example sentence(s):

(Kuntscher) awl with handle Explanation: This description: L’abord du sommet trochantérien avec une pointe carrée (droite ou en « queue de cochon ») taken from the following website http://www.maitrise-orthop.com/viewPage.do?id=1212 fits your context very well, which suggests to me that the instrument in question is an awl (used to start a hole in the femoral medullary canal) I found quite a few pictures in Ortho Surgery instrument catalogs, so I am fairly sure this is the right term in English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-10-31 13:59:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note than intramedullary nails, like the one being used here, was invented by Dr. Küntscher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramedullary_rod Reference: http://www.sheffieldmedical.co.uk/productdetail.kmod?Product...

Reference: Picture of "queue de cochon" Reference information: See picture of the instrument in question on page 99 of this PDF under "Perforateur Initial". This seems to be an awl or reamer, but I am still looking for the right EN term in the context of Orthopedic Surgery. Reference: http://ideaconception.fr/medias/download/instrument-de-chiru... |
