b) I am not really sure about "größer" (bigger, larger ....?), maybe it is more appropriate to say --> of more than usual size

  -> Thank you, Sue.
agree  casper (X): a) Can one translate 'Anlagevariation' as 'structural bone variation', I wonder? b) Is it necessary to translate the 'größere' in the asked term?//Thanks. I've learnt something from you :-)
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Chetan. a) no, IMO it is not a structural variation, but an additional / accessory bone formation. b) s. added note
agree  Anne Schulz: I think the report explicitly says "larger os tibiale externum" because a small one usually does not produce any symptoms.//"...a relatively large..." then -- well, relative to what? "...a fairly large..."?
15 hrs
  -> OK, Anne - thank you. However, I would always prefer to add to what it compares --> larger than what? // Yes, I like "fairly large os ..."
agree  Dr.G.MD (X)
