Hi,
This is a rush job. I am thus unable to research this. The following change the end customer made to my translation does not seem quite right to me. Or is it correct after all?
EN:
If so, do you know if the surgery involved ***fusion of bones***, a transfer of tendons, heel cord lengthening or lowering of the arch?
DE:
Wenn ja, wissen Sie, ob bei der Operation eine ***Knochenversteifung***, ein Sehnentransfer, eine Achillessehnenverlängerung oder Absenkung des Fußgewölbes vorgenommen wurde?
Please provide medical translation-related feedback on such end-customer change to my previous translation with a focus on putting the right words there. This is PAID work (viz. a somewhat more intricate version of galley proofing my amended translation), not a complaint.
Cheers,

Discussion
@Regina: Ich kenne auch eher "Versteifung" oder "Gelenkversteifung" als "Knochenversteifung", wenn es um operative Eingriffe geht – aber falsch ist "Knochenversteifung" m.E. genauso wenig wie der Begriff "Knochenfusion", der ja auch genauso wenig eindeutig ist, weil er für (pathologische) Synostosen, therapeutische Arthrodesen und bei der Heilung von Knochenbrüchen verwendet werden kann.
Do your feet slap when you walk?
Do you wear shoe inserts/insoles (below the ankle)?
Do you wear braces, splints, or equivalent type of orthotics that extend above your ankle?
Have the above ankle orthotics described above ever been prescribed or suggested by healthcare professionals?
Have you had surgery on your feet or ankles?
If so, do you know if the surgery involved ***fusion of bones***, a transfer of tendons, heel cord lengthening or lowering of the arch?
