Dutch term

MF chondrostimulatie

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general) Orthopedics
This is from Orthopedic report in Flemish

Patient is opgenomen voor het uitvoeren van intra-articulaire voorste kruisbandreconstructie, * MF chondrostimulatie * om wille van een graad 4 letsel ter hoogte van de laterale femurcondyl.

I am unable to find a good translation for this term and I cannot figure what MF stands for either.

Thanks,

Mark

stimulation of cartilage formation by MF

Ik neem aan dat "chondrostimulatie" stimulatie van kraakbeenvorming inhoudt

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is reported to promote peripheral nerve regeneration, osteogenesis, and probably recovery from SCI because of increases in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase activity, acetyl cholinesterase at the motor plate, sparing of white matter, number of motor neurons reestablishing connections [18], maturation of bone trabecula, bone volume, bone formation, and decrease in lesion volume [19-21]. PEMF induces the differentiation of cartilage cells and enhances ALP activity in rat osteoblasts [22].

The use of magnetic fields (MFs), in general, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs), in specific, as therapeutic modalities is becoming very common. In the USA, EMFs are mostly used in orthopedics, followed by pain relief and the wound-healing arena. Even though a substantial literature exists worldwide, we are still lacking the accepted comprehensive mechanism(s) of action. In general, it is thought that the best therapeutic effects are achieved when the stimulation is applied directly to the target area. Since the beginning of this century, however, more and more evidence has been collected indicating that effects of the MF stimulation may also be observed at site(s) different from the site of application of the signal. A primary purpose of this paper is to propose a link between the systemic and direct effects. The functional units known as trigger points are discussed as possible “doors” allowing the stimulation to be delivered to the target tissue/organ. A second purpose is to suggest some possible modes of action.

Dank je, Mark.

Beide zijn inhoudelijk juist maar ik vind 'MF stimulation' iets mooier.
Het Engels maakt nu eenmaal veel meer gebruik van premodificatie dan het Nederlands.
Ik heb de glossary entry dienovereenkomstig aangepast.

Groeten,

Barend
