Hello, I'm translating a German medical report discussing the treatment of a knee pain after an arthroscopic operation. I've hit a couple abbreviations that I can't find (see below). Any help from people who have experience with this context would be much appreciated! Thank you!
DS and GS (Gelenkschmerz?) in:
"Kein Erguss. E/F 0-0-150, keine Einklemmung, Kollateral u sag. stabil, ***dez. DS lat. GS***, Am Zeiche nicht eindeutig positive, pDMS intakt."
DS also in:
"***DS*** vor allem am lat. Meniskus."
S. in:
"Schmerzen im ***S.*** von Instabilität und stechend einschiessend am lat. Kompartiment."

: Why 'space' and not 'margin', the most simple and literal solution?

Because the "Gelenkspalt" is the "joint space"

Discussion
However, the joint 'space' encompasses much more than the pure 'distance' between articulating bones, e.g. the recessus, synovial structures, menisci, perhaps pathological accumulations of pus or effusion and more..
'Druckschmerz am lateralen Gelenkspalt' as used among German orthopaedic surgeons literally means tenderness/pain upon touch at the lateral section of the joint margin; i.e. here:
