jumping up and down wanting to answer the question.  Otherwise you would have been paying more attention and know this.  This is very basic MT knowledge, not your opinion of what it should be.  Her answer is correct, not yours, and she explained it correctly.  Go back and read it again.  It is not the amount of packs in a year, no matter how many times you jump up and down yelling out your answer.

telling us that the apostrophe is the same as saying "of," as in 17 weeks of gestation, which would be okay.  Or you can say a 17-week gestation.  Either way would be okay I would think.  Not 17-weeks gestation though.

Subject: Oh, and you need to check the anatomy of the hand. Do a google search for "bones of the hand".

Try this site, you can click on the bones of the hand and it will tell you what the bone is called.

The trapezoid bone is a bone in the distal row of the carpus; it articulates with the second metacarpal.


The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.


Please know what you are talking about before you try to be condescending.

here is the Dorland's verbatim entry for "decubitus:"

decubitus (pronunciation key); pleural DECUBITUS (pronunciation key): Then goes on to explain its various usages as in decubitus position, Andral's decubitus, dorsal, lateral, and ventral decubitis, etc. Specifies plural is decubitus, not decubiti, as does Stedman's Medical Phrase Index, and Mosby's.....anyway, stick to your own opinion, as you invariably will.

glissement, you won't get what you need. You need to limit your results to those that are relevant to your topic by adding associated terms to your search. Try the two words "glissement" and "knee" (without the quotes). There will be a lot of results in French, but even if you can't read French, you will be able to see that they are relevant to your topic. There are, however, a few that use "glissement" in an English context, which should give you more confidence. In any event, it's your initials on the report, so you handled it in the way that is most comfortable for you. I could be wrong, of course, but I suspect that it will turn out to be "glissement".
