French term or phrase: fût diaphysaire
Hi,

This is a report of a CT scan of the right shoulder:

Fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus and greater tuberosity fracture.

"Impaction du fût diaphysaire au niveau de la tête humérale"

I am a bit confused because "fût" is a "shaft" and "diaphysis" is the shaft of a long bone. Isn't it redundant to then say "fût diaphysaire"?

Thanks

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The structure of a long bone allows for the best visualization of all of the parts of a bone (Figure 1). A long bone has two parts: the diaphysis and the epiphysis. The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which is filled with yellow marrow. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone.

I agree the terms are synonymous. Alternatively you could just select one of the terms.
