Suzanne Blangsted (X) Dec 9, 2005:
In my opinion when using a special medical term like "Reknitting", it should not be replaced by a technical term. Ask a Dr. at your hospital who might know.
Suzanne Blangsted (X) Dec 8, 2005:
Knitting (reknitting) is according to Dorland's Medical Dictionary a physiological process of repair of a fractured bone. I am unsure of the Danish term, when involving a valve, but thought you might like to see what med. dict. gives as explanation

repolymerisering

NOTE: In this context only.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Suzanne Blangsted (X) : close but no cigar - the text does not say repolymerizing but uses the word "reknitting". Polymerisering is a process with use of chemicals.

Well, "repolymerisering" is what actually takes place, but I have an open mind; suggest something better and I'll give you my "Agree"! ;o)

remodellering

Fandt ordet under knoglebrud i Encyklopædien, og ud fra sammenhængen kunne det godt se ud til at stemme overens med "reknitting". En søgning på Google giver en del hits, der peger i samme retning.

Jeg tror ikke det h�nger sammen, da jeg har med en ventil af plast at g�re. Se her: http://www.baxter-ecommerce.com/ecatalog/search.do?searchString=cytoluer&language=-18&legalEntity=017
Peer comment(s):

neutral Suzanne Blangsted (X) : No, it is not "remodelling" of bone, and not the term for "knitting of bone". I have not disagreed because I can't remember the word for physiological knitting in Danish.

gendannelse

I believe that this was the Danish word used for reknitting when I read an article from Lægemiddelstyrelsen, which had been translated.

here are a couple of ref regarding gendannelse - http://www.ebst.dk/file/3504/brugerdreven_innovation_medicob...
http://www.emea.eu.int/pdfs/human/referral/calcitonin/086704...

but they are not the one from Lægemiddelstyrelsen. I don't see it in my files, but will look again.
Note from asker:
I agree with Sven Petersson - I'm dealing with a valve of some type of plastic material, so I don't think the reknitting of bones is related.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Sven Petersson : Doubtful, please see http://www.devicelink.com/mpmn/archive/98/06/9806pcva.jpg for a picture of the item. I think the term asked for rather describes some special "rejoining" process. - Addendum: The context does not indicate "physiologically".

That does not go with the word "reknitting". The term is a medical term used by orthopedic surgeons here in the US in healing physiologically and is explained as such in medical dictionaries
