Medical (general)
In a medical report, the patient is diagnosed:
Subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur with osteosynthesis.
Paresthesia in outside posterior right buttock and thigh
and is given treatment with a series of medications and "Hc fisioterapia". Any idea what the 'Hc' or 'HC' is? (the doctor is not very hot on punctuation or capitals!!)
many thanks

Hemicuerpo (Hc) fisioterapia > Half-body physiotherapy
From the doctor's reply (small body), it's obvious to me that 'Hc' stands for 'HEMICUERPO', which is often (erroneously) translated as 'small body' by Spanish speakers.
Actually, I'd give a "High" for Hc = hemicuerpo, but only a 'Medium' for hemicuerpo fisiotherapia = half-body physiotherapy.
The proper translation depends on context and remains problematic for many ProZ askers/answerers ('hemicuerpo' appears most often in reference to the spine/vertebra):
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/medical_general...
'Half-body' seems to fit here, although most of the references refer to massage clinics, etc. and "hemicuerpo fisioterapia" / "hc fisiotherapia" get no relevant hits.
'Hemibody' and 'on one side of the body' are also found:
Hemibody is usually as 'hemibody radiation/irradiation'; in other contexts, there are few hits (mostly from Spanish originals).
'On one side of the body' is used in less technical material.

Hormona de Crecimiento
La clave está en la hormona de crecimiento (HC). Muchos de sus pacientes la toman, y el motivo es que, según el doctor, «la HC exógena acompañada de fisioterapia y estimulación tiene la capacidad de generar células madre neurales que pueden transformarse en neuronas y sustituir a las dañadas a nivel cerebral o medular, jugando un papel neuroprotector generalizado».
Discussion
it does help increase bone density (apart from many other effects), but does it go jointly with physiotherapy? And in an 80 year old man?
