English term or phrase: shoulder
Contexto: patente sobre un instrumento para reseccionar la tibia.

"Further, the head 43 of the bolt 49 rests on the **shoulder** 71 tranferring load thereto"

"A pair of **shoulders** 44, 45 at the upper and of vertical post 36 register in an elongated slot 53 on tibial stylus 50."

Muchas gracias por adelantado.

apoyo o cabeza
Explanation:
Aquí el sentido de shoulder es "a substantial projection or abrupt change in shape or diameter designed to withstand thrust".

Creo que las dos palabras, "apoyo" y "cabeza" son válidas aquí. Me inclino más por "cabeza" por el tipo de piezas que menciona.

Un saludo.
