Italian term

slittamento dell’accrescimento della cartilagine

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) orthopaedics
Properties of a drug:

"La sospensione del trattamento può portare ad uno slittamento dell’accrescimento della cartilagine del femore."

What's the medically correct word for "slittamento" and the above phrase?

Thanks for your input!

HI Judy, Thanks for this useful info. I think it's cartilagine di accrescimento. Let's see what others have to say. But please go ahead and enter it as an answer.

Here you have both word orders in the same sentence:
La sospensione del trattamento può portare ad uno slittamento dell’accrescimento della cartilagine del
femore. Una possibile causa potrebbe essere una debolezza della cartilagine di accrescimento a causa
di una minore concentrazione di ormoni sessuali femminili durante il trattamento.

Could the first be wrong? Does the sentence make sense to a doctor?
JudyC Nov 17, 2022:
"slittamento" can refer both to time (delay) and space (slippage, as already pointed out)
Because here it is associated with a process (accrescimento), delay would seem more likely.
On the other hand, "accrescimento" may be in the wrong place, and they may be referring to epiphysiolysis (so cartilagine di accrescimento).
If this is the case, then slittamento refers to place (slippage), as Liz has pointed out, and "Slipped capital femoral epiphysis" is acited as an adverse effect of discontinuing the drug leuprorelin

Slippage of the growth plate

A possibility. See discussion and Liz's references.
Needs flagging given the change in word order (and potential meaning)

Appositional growth occurs when chondroblasts secrete new matrix along existing surfaces and this causes the cartilage to expand and widen.

could they be talking about the growth plate? See:

***This growth plate (called the physis) is made of cartilage***, which is weaker than bone. The job of the growth plate is to make the bone longer.
