I need the English term for MFKI, I think it is MFC (medial femoral condyle) but am not sure.
It is about an injury in the length of the lower leg.

Thanks,
Hannah

Base of 1st metatarsal
Explanation:
MFK here is probably Mittelfussknochen, in this case the 1st metatarsal. In your context you have 'Aitken III', which refers to a meta-epiphyseal fracture that crosses the physeal line, in a paper on foot and ankle fractures in childhood:
