Hello everyone
I am translating an article on arm and hand surgery.
I have this term to translate, and I am guessing it refers to the hand, but I cannot seem to find the meaning.
sentence:" La mise en place des fiches de fixateurs peut provoquer des lesions d'elements nobles" I need to know what "lesions d'elements nobles" means. Thanks
