Medical - Medical: Instruments / dispositif pour déterminer la position d'un fémur par rapport a un tibia
French term or phrase: molette de réglage
Hello,

The entries I have found for this on online dictionaries, (GDT, IATE) give wheel among other terms, all of which do not fit with the image I have of this molette, it looks more like a stick (number 7) (this piece is an organde de mesure)

http://postimg.org/image/wi80qi7ah/

here is some context:

"Le premier organe de mesure comporte un cavalier dont une partie de la face opposée à deux bras du cavalier est destinée à venir reposer contre le tibia T. Le premier organe de mesure comporte en outre un flan qui est monté pivotant autour du cavalier et dont une face est destinée à venir reposer contre le tibia T. "

Any ideas?
Thank you!

neutral  B D Finch: Though the noun does exist, it is rarely used and not appropriate here. Knurling is criss-cross milling; hence one may have a knurled knob.
