French term or phrase: dissection cartilagineuse
Hi,

I am currently translating an article for an orthopaedics journal (USA) and am stumped with "dissection" in this context.

This is a classification system for osteochondral lesions.

"Elle reposait sur 3 critères: la longueur, la profondeur et la dissection cartilagineuse."

Thanks

An osteochondral lesion in the knee joint is caused by a focal traumatic osteochondral defect, osteochondritis dissecans, an isolated degenerative lesion, or diffuse degenerative disease. An osteochondral lesion with a cleft-like appearance accompanying medial meniscus injury is rare without trauma. We report the case of a 13-year-old boy who complained of right knee pain and swelling, with radiographic findings of an osteochondral defect. Arthroscopic inspection showed an osteochondral lesion in the medial condyle of the femur and tibial plateau accompanying a partial medial meniscus discoid tear. Partial meniscectomy was performed, and a microfracture procedure was carried out on the osteochondral defect.

detachment of the cartilage // the cartilage coming loose // fracture

Such lesions are a tear or fracture in the cartilage covering one of the bones in a joint. The cartilage can be torn, crushed or damaged and, in rare cases, a cyst can form in the cartilage.

cartilage dissection


Explanation:
Just use the correct medical term, which in English, happens to be "dissection".

Every doctor knows what it means, and surgeons are your target readers. This is an example of an everyday word with a specific meaning in medicine, which differs from the everyday meaning.

A dissection is a tear, but it is a specific kind of tear. It is a tear along a natural line of cleavage. "Delamination" would be the closest equivalent. In your example, the cleavage is between bone and cartilage.

The term is usually used used with "aortic dissection", but the principle is the same.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Michael. I was hesitant as there are hardly any hits with "cartilage dissection"

Asker: Hi Michael, I finally spoke to the author and he preferred the term "tear" in this context but will input your suggestions in my glossary.
