FG

French to English Medical Medical (general)
The abbreviations FG and FD appear in the objective examination portion of the evaluation report in which “Visualiser les angles” appears (my previous question). Trapèze, Sterno-CM, Rhomboïde, Omoplate (Supérieur, Médial, Inférieur, Latéral) and Carotide are listed in the left column of a table with the headings of Palpation, Spasme, Douleur and Douleur (yes, two times). The row for Trapèze reads “Négatif, Négatif, Négatif, Négatif, FG, C2, FD”, with each item in a separate column. The next row has four “Négatifs”, followed by “FG, C3, FD”. “FG, C2, FD”, etc. are in the second “Douleur” column. The rows go from C2 down to D1. I assume that G and D are “gauche” and “droit”, but I don’t know what the “F” stands for. The answer is probably obvious. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer from client Given the uncertainty, I had to ask the client, who told me that “F” stands for “facette”, “G” and “D”, of course, referring to left and right.

@ Sue Davis The table is entitled "Palpation", and no other test or maneuver is mentioned in it.
Sue Davis Sep 10, 2016:
Does this test just involve palpation? Another suggestion only; F- flexion droite, flexion gauche, though technically this should be right/left lateral flexion. However lateral flexion at C2 and C3 would recruit the upper fibres of trapezius if the scapula were fixed by the clinician. Perhaps a test to assess pain on muscle contraction?

Another suggestion for "F": "faisceaux" i.e. muscle fibre bundles. The trapezius conventionally is formed of 3 on each side. See http://entrainement-sportif.fr/muscle-trapeze.htm

hi,
best to find the evidence rather than interpret the meaning, she says....:)
medeast (asker) Sep 10, 2016:
Possible interpretation This patient suffered multiple costal fractures, a vertebral fracture, and a fracture of the sternum, clavicle and scapula when a tree fell on him in a felling operation. Since this table concerns palpation, perhaps “F” stands for “faible”, i.e. “faible [douleur] à gauche” and “faible [douleur] à droite”, the right and left being the lateral aspects of the vertebrae. Does this sound like a reasonable interpretation?

Flanc gauche

I'm not sure because I think that 'FG and FD' are not official abbreviations. But according to the context and logic, I would say that 'FG' and 'FD' mean 'flanc gauche' and 'flanc droit'. However, the 'official' anatomical localisation of 'flanc' is just above the buttock and not in the area of the neck or scapula (trapezes are muscles of the shoulder area). Please see the picture at ' Topographie Abdominale ' of the site below.
You should give more details about the context to be able to understand
