@ Antoinette-M. Sixt Ruth Please post the complete German sentence, preferably the entire relevant para. Thanks.
Dr Lofthouse Oct 13, 2009:
does it concern the hip/pelvis? male/female patient? Trying to work out if Enge could be 'isthmus'
Stuart Fehr Oct 13, 2009:
How about - "causing tightness between the lesser trochanter and the ischium on the right side".
