French term

consolidation / consolidé

French to English Medical Medical (general)
This is from a personal injury report. I have seen this translated as recovery/ recovered before but I can't find anything online to confirm whether or not this is correct.

The sentences I have had most difficulty with are (and my attempt):

Elle n’avait pas été consolidée car elle devait refaire un scanner cérébral et un checkup avant l’été 2012

(She was (considered) not fully recovered because she needs to have another brain scan and a check-up before summer 2012)

Vu la normalité et l’amélioration clinique nette j’ai préféré consolidé XXXXXXXXX(female) sous réserve bien évidemment que ...
(I think there is a typo here and it should be consolidée or consolider)

(Given her overall clinical normality and improvement, I consider XXXXX to be recovered...

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

declare her condition as stabilized

It's a declaration the physician has to make, for insurance purposes mainly. It's not about recovery as a patient can be declared as 'consolidé' in a very bad condition if the physician has determined that their condition shouldn't improve anymore.

Here: 'consolider' = 'to issue a certificate of stabilization'

Stabilised/stabilized or stable

A possible suggestion? I have nothing to back it up I'm afraid.

French term (edited): consolidation /consolidée

Recovery/Recovered

It seems those sentences are speaking generally and I'd say your option of "recovered" sounds great, Holly-anne. In my experience, we'd use "stable" for more specific situations, such as critical care/ICU/Isolation/post-surgery, etc. and "healed" for specific injuries, such as "fracture consolidée" or "lésion consolidée". But I'm open to new info!
