Thank you for your confirmation. If I'd looked two pages further on, I would have known, because it says: 'st. p. hřebové osteosynthéze krčku...'

Elizabeth Spacilova Dec 7, 2018:

Yes, Dylan You should be able to tell from the rest of the report, but it seems the physician abbreviated osteopathy (or osteosynthesis?) to "osy". I won't post an answer because you figured it out yourself.

Dylan Edwards (asker) Dec 7, 2018:

Now I'm guessing: perhaps it's a shortening of a longer word - osteosynthesis?

Dylan Edwards (asker) Dec 7, 2018:

Yes, 'osy' definitely looks more like Czech than Latin. I just don't see how 'osy' can follow on from 'et'.

I hid my answer as I became confused if it is related to 'axis' or a 'bone'. When I checked declination for 'os', 'osy' is not there.

Noun
os n (genitive ossis); third declension

bone

Case Singular Plural
Nominative os ossa
Genitive ossis ossium
Dative ossī ossibus
Accusative os ossa
Ablative osse ossibus
Vocative os ossa

'OS' appears several times in the text: 'příprava k OS', 'provedena OS' etc. I take it to mean 'open surgery'.
So, is 'osy' a random variation on 'OS', or is it Latin for 'bone' with a random 'y' on the end of it, or is it Czech ('axis')?
I'm also paying attention to the 'et' meaning 'and'. So how does it all hang together?
