German term

akuter oder chronischer polythoper Gelenk- und Weichteilbefall

German to English Medical Medical (general) Rheuma orthopaedics
Es geht um Rheumaorthopädie...

Mir fehlen die beiden Begriffe "polythop" (ich kenne nur "polytop" und "polytrop") und "-befall".

Kann jemand aushelfen??

Danke :-)

"Scintigraphy.
Confirmatory bone scintigraphy was carried out in 19 patients. It was very useful in confirming the suspected diagnosis in patients without radiological evidence of ON at the time of presentation, and in detecting multiple ON in patients with ***polytopic involvement***. We did not find differences in the bone scan pattern between ION and SON."

"polythop" is a typo for "polytop".

agree Dr Sue Levy (X) : multiple joint and soft tissue involvement sounds more English to me - polytopic only seems to be used by non-English authors in similar contexts - apart from "polytopic membrane protein"
