Medical - Medical (general) / Designation of vertebrae
German term or phrase: TH 11 /12
The following list of injuries is contained in documents pertaining to a lawsuit. The terminology of the injuries themselves is not in question, but I am unclear on the designation of the bones. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_vertebrae, it appears that in English the thoracic vertebrae are designated as T 1, etc. Is this normally so?

Querfortsatzfraktur der Halswirbelsäule
Rippenserienfraktur 2.-9 - Rippe links
Schulterblattfraktur links und rechts
Vollständige Querschnittslähmung unterhalb L1
Blasen- und Mastdarmlähmung

Maybe also a question of AE/BE (Th 1 etc.) seems to be more common in AE.
