Aucun signe de liserets radiographiques ni d’ostéolyse

This sentence appears in a document I am translating about total hip replacement surgery. Surrounding context talks about linear and volumetric wear, femoral head size, highly cross-linked polyethylene, loosening, migration of the implant, etc.

Would be grateful for any help as I have drawn a bit of a blank on this so far.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Joanne - spot on! There was indeed a typo in the original French, which didn't help! I found that it was in the glossary I had been given anyway.... just missed it because of the typo and was too tired to think of alternative spellings! Thanks to all other contributors.
