Look at this:

Fraise
Fraise (fraise)
n. (?)
||Fraise
[F. fraise, orig., a ruff, cf. F. frise frieze, E. frieze a coarse stuff.]

1. A defense consisting of pointed stakes driven into the ramparts in a horizontal or inclined position.
2. A fluted reamer for enlarging holes in stone; a small milling cutter.

I think you may have looked up the wrong area of terminolgy? :-)

Abstract:

(EN) A surgical instrument system for preparing the medullary canal of the femur for implanting a prosthetic femoral component includes a template (4) to be used in determining osteotomy position for an x-ray (2). A gauge (10) is provided to locate and mark this position on the anterior femur (8). A distal reamer (56) having an elongated drive shaft (60) is used to form the canal to receive the distal stem of the femoral component. A methaphyseal template (80) is used to determine the proper anteversion/retroversion and a chisel (90) is used to cut the lateral area of the femur, both of which are guided by the elongated reamer shaft (60). A proximal broach (100) also guided by the reamer shaft (60) is used to shape the proximal medullary canal.

(FR) Un instrument chirurgical servant à préparer le canal médullaire du fémur pour l'implantation d'un prothèse comprend un gabarit (4) pour déterminer la position de l'ostéotomie à partir de rayons X (2). Un calibre (10) est prévu pour localiser et marquer cette position sur l'avant du fémur (8). Un instrument d'alésage distal (56) ayant un arbre d'entraînement allongé (60) est utilisé pour former un canal destiné à recevoir la tige distale du composant fémoral. Un gabarit métaphysiaire (80) est utilisé pour déterminer l'antéversion/la rétroversion correctes et un ciseau (90) est utilisé pour couper la zone latérale du fémur, les deux étant guidées par l'arbre allongé (60) de l'instrument d'alésage. Une broche proximale (100) est également guidée par l'arbre (60) de l'instrument d'alésage pour former le canal médullaire proximal.

agree  Bourth (X): I don't know about hip replacement surgery, but in the absolute "reamer" sounds good to me. "Fraise" (in general) would be something for countersinking, or a milling cutter, as in dentistry. Not the same thing.
2 hrs
  -> Thank you!

agree  EACK: I haven't been looking up the wrong terminology. "Fraise" is also used in the same text/set of texts and the client prefers the translation "reamer", which is why I am stuck when "alésoir" crops up as well.
6 hrs
  -> Fine:-) Well in French there are two ways of saying "reamer", whereas, it seems to me, there is only one way in English, i.e. "reamer".

agree  GILLES MEUNIER
