Interesting:
I have no knowledge in this field and am only basing my suggestion on my dictionary (Gyldendals Medicinsk Odontologisk Ordbog CD-ROM 2005).
The En>Da gives:
apposition sb.
1.adaptation;
2.adaptation af sårrande.

The back translation for adaptation is (no. 5 of 5):

apposition [The state of two structurs (sic) such as part of the body being in close contact].

However, I would tend to have greater faith in sirius and Blangsted :-)

apposition

Explanation:
Et opslag i IATE viser, at det hedder det samme på tysk inden for lægevidenskab, hvilket taler stærkt for, at ordet også anvendes sådan på dansk. Betydningen er jo den samme som i grammatik, hvor apposition på dansk hedder "hosstilling" (lat. ad + ponere: anbringe op ad).
