Medical - Medical (general) / musculoskeletal system
English term or phrase: moot point
"In treatment of early degenerative disease of the hip joint, whether the resultant pain results from capsular, ligamentous contracture or cartilage erosion of joint surfaces or both, remains a moot point."

Supongo que es algo tan simple como "cuestión sin resolver".. ¡Muchas gracias!

es indiferente
Explanation:
Maria, he oido este termino usado en conversacion muchisimas veces y siempre con el significado que a "moot point" es algo que no afecta para nada el resultado, algo indiferente, sin importancia, porque de un modo u otro, es lo mismo. En esta oracion tuya, lo que quiso decir el autor, es que no importa de donde proviene el dolor, el tratamiento es el mismo.

Podrias poner o \"es indiferente\" o \"no importa\", \"carece de importancia\".

Si fuese algo \"discutible\" o \"cuestionable\" la oracion no tendria sentido, no? Piensalo.
