French term

d’horaire mécanique

French to English Medical Medical: Health Care orthopedics of the knee
From a training module on orthopedics. I may be missing something due to fatigue, I am not sure whether this is a specific kind of knee pain or whether it refers to the mechanical-like (regular?) time periods when the knee pain presents. TIA, Jason.

Gonarthrose.
La douleur :
• Elle est le maître symptôme mais son intensité n’est pas corrélée à la sévérité radiologique de l’arthrose.
Il s’agit d’une gonalgie **d’horaire mécanique** (qui augmente avec l'intensité de la fonction), qui peut être diffuse dans le genou, mais souvent localisée au compartiment interne.
• Son intensité est évaluée sur une échelle visuelle analogique (EVA).

time-specific mechanical pain

A suggestion

I could only find references to nocturnal knee pain

BTW gonalgia is apparently an obsolete term and is replaced by knee pain

mechanical pain

Can I refer to my own KudoZ answer?

And note that gonalgie is "knee pain" in common medical English...
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Yes, but what about "d'horaire"?

I agree that "horaire" implies some sort of schedule, but that doesn't mean that this specific word needs to be translated; "mechanical pain" implies that the pain occurs on a schedule (i.e. during the day) that is different from inflammatory pain

Two previous questions

Though I'm not sure if either of them is quite right. I wonder if "d'horaire" means "regularly recurring" and "mécanique" means "mechanical".

agree Joanne Archambault : with your 2nd reference

Thanks, but you can't ignore the first one. I've been Googling "douleur d'horaire", and it clearly means something like "occurring at specific times of day", eg at night.

Elle figure dans votre texte :
**d’horaire mécanique** = la douleur augmente avec l'intensité de la fonction.
