Medical - Medical (general) / ultrasound
French term or phrase: crosse
In an ultrasound report: "La petite saphène droite est nettement ectasique puisqu'elle mesure 1.5 cm à la crosse". Junction? Arch? The only reference to the term in a medical context I can find is to the aortic arch, but I'm doubtful that is the right term here. Anyone know? TIA
