Spanish to English translations [PRO] Medical - Medical (general) / lesión
Spanish term or phrase:Atricción del 3er dedo de la mano derecha
He buscado y sólo encuentro "atriction of soft tissue". Como no soy médico no se si "atriction" en lenguaje médico es "presión o golpe", i.e. lesión producida al golpearse el dedo de un trabajado con el gancho de una grúa.
Explanation: Según el Dicc. crítico de Navarro, "atrición" significa "attrition" en inglés y es sinónimo de "erosion" o "abrasion".
Otro ejemplo:
"Dental Attrition:
Attrition refers to the worn surfaces of the teeth where grinding of food occurs. Attrition may make chewing less effective."

Se me hace que "atriction" está malescrito, pero quizás me equivoco.

It sounds more like "crushing injury"? See below...
"Fingertip injuries can result in amputation or tissue loss. The injury is assessed whether the bone and underlying tissue are intact and the size of the wound area. The pulp is the area of skin opposite the fingernail and is usually very vulnerable to injury. Pulp injuries commonly occur in persons who use or are in close contact with fast moving mechanical devices. These injuries can crush, cut, and puncture. The fingertips can also be injured by common crushing accidents. This could cause the development of a subungal hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the nail). At the base of the distal phalanx (the first circular skin fold from the tip) injuries can occur that can fracture the underlying bone in the area. Quite commonly a hammer, closing a door, or sport accidents usually cause these injuries. These fractures can be simple, requiring little treatment or more complicated involving the joint. The accident may involve the point of insertion of a tendon. Usually this occurs when the terminal joint is being forced to flex while held straight. This motion typically occurs when tucking in sheets during bed making, a common cause of tendon injury. This injury causes a loss of extension (straightening the finger) ability." http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/fingertip_inj...

Gracias mil Suestrue por salvarme del apuro con tu pronta respuesta. Usé attrition. Gracias a todos los demás que me ayudaron también. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Quizás no me he expresado bien. Yo he visto mucho "Attrition" como "rubbing away or wearing down by friction", ergo, erosión, abrasión y hasta reducción. Sin embargo en los reportes de seguridad que yo traduzco utilizan atricción en el caso de una herida (que puede tener hasta compromiso óseo) causada por el golpe (en este caso de un gancho de una grúa) o por quedar atrapado entre dos partes de la grúa. En este último caso yo uso "Trauma caused by pressure" , pero no se si esto aplica a atricción.

también enconté "pinzamiento", lo que se hace en cirugía
Explanation: Podemos establecer como ventajas de nuestro método el hecho de que el acto quirúrgico es rápido, el sangramiento es mínimo, ya que la tenotomía se hace por atricción (pinzamiento), la sutura intradérmica no corre peligro, el tiempo de hospitalización es muy corto y además este método está excento de recidivas.

Explanation: Attrition IS the removal of soft tissue by rubbing ... but this rubbing can also be produced by a single blow with a scraping movement. Fractures, amputation or other injuries can be involved or not; they are separate from the loss of soft tissue.
You could also say "scraping injury". Really, it's not clear exactly what original sentence you translated as "Trauma caused by pressure"; it seems you might be filling in parts of the form in English instead of translating all the entries from Spanish.

attrition, contraction of the principal nerve in horse´s foreleg
Explanation: la palabra en ingés medicamente se escribe "attrition", o "contraction" como en el caso del la pata del caballo. La definición la encontré en el Diccionario Velázques que tengo en casa. Ojalá que te sirva de algo o te aclare las dudas
en este caso podría ser la contractura (contraction) del tercer dedo de la mano derecha. La otra definición para "attrition" en el mismo diccionario aparte de abrasión indican "trituración", es decir trituración del tercer dedo....pero para cualquiera de esos términos el término correcto en inglés es "attrition" o "contraction"
