Decollement
German to English
Medical
Medical (general)
The term "Decollement linker Unterarm" appears in a list of injuries sustained in a road traffic accident.
I have found a German definition under http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decollement_(Medizin) but don't know what this is in English.
Any help would be appreciated.

detachment
I checked my French medical dictionary as this is a French word and it gives 'detachment'. I do know that décollement placentaire is detachment of the placenta, but I'm not sure whether it's correct in your context.
Decollement is used in English, but I believe it is more in the context of a surgical procedure rather than an injury sustained.

My definition would be more appropriate without the word "surgical", i.e.
"Separation of tissues and organs (decollement)". Also my links do not fit very well as sibsab pointed out (see beolw).

You are right, my links are not very applicable and my definition would also be better without the "surgical". I feel rather foolish, but I have totally overlooked the "injuries sustained in an accident. Thanks for pointing this out!
