@Asker: se osservi bene, infatti, il TO stesso ti dice: "...sia su base costituzionale, per brevità dei peduncoli [cioè, per **come è fatto per sua costituzione/costituzionalmente il paziente (cfr. "constitutional: ...proceeding from the basic structure or nature of a person..."), o meglio i suoi peduncoli** - non perché presenti al riguardo una "condizione congenita"(cfr. "...existing at or before birth usually through heredity, **as a disorder**), che *con tale termine* sarebbe altrimenti stata definita dall'Autore in italiano], sia secondariamente..."

L'articolo di Frymoyer che ti ho riportato **riguarda proprio peduncoli *costituzionalmente* più corti** -> http://www.nemours.org

agree

luskie: qui congenita mi sembra in effetti più preciso di costituzionale, che - in contesti come questo - vuol dire la stessa cosa. si potrebbe essere ancora più precisi specificando se il tratto sia ereditario o acquisito in utero, ma non esageriamo :)

-> Grazie :)

agree

SJLD: "constitutional" is not *wrong* strictly speaking, but not idiomatic - tends to be used by non native authors in this particular context

-> Grazie SJLD!//That's what I thought when I read "congenitally": "Oh, here's how the English say it!"

disagree

ARS54: ...sorry davvero, cara, ma "congenito" e "costituzionale" nn sono affatto sinonimi o sovrapponibili, in medicina, :)/Chapeau, Valeria, sei una "signora", oltre che una professionista "vera", lo apprezzo molto, Anna Rosa

-> Vabbè, ci ho provato! :) Anche a me sembrano diversi, ma sul momento ho pensato di essere troppo pignola io: cercando "short pedicles" sono saltati fuori così tanti hit con "congenital" che ho pensato andasse bene.
