French term or phrase: face d’accouplement
Context:
- on dispose de données cartographiques préopératoires relatives à une ou des vertèbres d’un patient à opérer,
- on fabrique un élément vertébral de localisation qui est pourvu :
- d’une face d’accouplement qui est spécifique au patient, en étant congruente avec une partie osseuse prédéterminée de la ou une des vertèbres, de manière à pouvoir accoupler l’élément vertébral de localisation à la vertèbre dans une position fixe unique, en appliquant la face d’accouplement en contact sur mesure avec la matière osseuse de cette vertèbre de manière que la face d’accouplement recouvre la partie osseuse prédéterminée de la vertèbre,

As per normal, this is a doc that I am revising.
this has been translated as "coupling face" which does not sound correct. I have thought of interface but not certain.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
TIA Chris.

surface mating
Explanation:
Abstract
Representative plasmids for most incompatibility groups in Escherichia coli K-12 were transferred to a "bald" strain to compare transfer frequencies for liquid and solid media. Standard broth matings were used for a liquid environment, but for solid surface mating, conjugation was allowed to take place on nutrient plates before washing off the cells for transconjugant selection on plates containing appropriate drugs. Plasmids that determine rigid pili transferred at least 2,000x better on plates than in broth. Some plasmids that determine thick flexible pili transferred 45 to 470x better, whereas others transferred equally well in both environments, as did plasmids of the I complex, which determine thin flexible pili. These results clearly distinguished a number of surface mating systems where most plasmids were derepressed for transfer and determined conjugative pili constitutively. The temperature-independent IncH2 plasmid R831b transferred best on plates, but other IncH plasmids transferred equally well in broth. This inconsistency led to the reclassification of R831b as IncM.

looks as though

mating face/surface


would suit
