French term or phrase: verrou quadricipital
Hi all -

I am translating a prescription and treatment protocol for a patient who hurt her ACL in an accident.

I can't seem to find this term:
verrou quadricipital

Here is the context:
2 grandes poches réfrigérantes type Physiopack : glacer la partie douloureuse 20 à 30 minutes,
3 fois par jour (protéger la peau de la glace avec un linge).
PARACETAMOL 500 mg : 2 comprimés toutes les 6 heures si douleur (maximum 8 par jour) 2 boites.
Une attelle longue de genou (jusqu'au verrou quadricipital), en extension, articulable, pendant 21 jours

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Michael

Explanation:
"2 large refrigerated pockets; (freeze) / chill the area of pain for 20 - 30 minutes; 3 times daily protect the skin from the ice with a cloth; take 2 paracetamol 500 mg each 6 hours if pain persists, maximum 8 tablets per day; a long knee brace (to the quadriceps (thigh muscle) lock, an articulated (linking) extension for 21 days."

A muscle 'lock' would be muscular tension, pain on extension and moving joint, a 'cramp' effect.

neutral  Michael Barnett: I'm sorry Lisa, what is this "lock" thing? BTW, it's an articulated brace, meaning there is a movable joint, and it is positioned in extension, meaning the leg is extended (straight at the knee), not flexed.
