broken bones in a child
Hospital report of a 6-yr-old child who fell and broke her ulna and radius. From Paris.
Les radiographies montrent une double fracture de l'extrémité discale du radius et cubitus avec une **plicature corticale** au niveau du radius qui se voit surtout su la corticale postérieure avec un très léger déplacement à peine mesurable et au niveau du cubitus avec une fente au ras du cartilage de croissance.
I think that "corticale" is referring to cortical bone, but I don't understand plicature at all in this context. This is very urgent, I have to send the job within an hour. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
