Medical - Medical (general) / Extract from surgical correspondence - torn ligament in knee joint
Norwegian term or phrase: På benken
Hei! This part of the report concerns post-operative follow-up of sutures carried out on the lateral meniscus. The sentences read:

"På benken ikke noe hydrops. Ikke rubor eller calor."

To be honest, I'm not certain what 'calor' means, either. Is it simply 'high temperature'? in a previous page of the report, I've also seen it written as 'kalor'. From the way the surgeon writes, I don't think he's a native Norwegian speaker. Does anyone have any ideas?
