Medical - Medical (general) / Shoulder surgery
French term or phrase: colliger
J'ai déjà colligé plusieurs cas comme celui-ci.
Anyone know what "colliger" means here? Is it a specific medical term or the usual general meaning of colligate, bring together?
Thanks!

Explanation:
This is how I see it - same as you. I would need to see more text around it to know exactly how I would translate it. I might even go with 'seen' (I have already seen several cases like this one) - but it would depend on context.

to reduce


Explanation:
Suggestion

to reduce a fracture the type of which is similar to Colle's fracture

Colle's fracture (fracture of the radius above the wrist joint) due to a fall on the outstretched hand. The small fragment of the radius that is broken off is displaced backwards, rotated and tilted and an arm-sling used to support the forearm. The wrist is then placed in plaster.
