Rupt. lig. cruz. ant. gen dext.s.i.

[Golazo]

Hello

This is a diagnosis of a torn ligament

I understand everything apart from the "s.i."

Can anyone tell me what the translation is?

Thanks

Maybe it is short for c.s.i. = cum signum interogatione (with a question mark). Uncertain/arguable findings.

cum signum interrogatione

Sorry for pedantry, but that would be cum signo interrogationis ('cum'+ablative case, 'interrogationis' in genitive).

Sorry for having to object here: It is indeed cum signum interogatione (with one r). It may not be correct Latin, but it is the medical expression.

Well, that does not mean ''with a question mark'' in Latin...
Cum signo interrogationis is a well-established late- Latin phrase in ancient and scientific literature, to say ''with a doubt/with a question mark/under reserve...'': if you google it, you'll find many examples.

... the same goes for c.s.i. = cum signum interogatione for medical purposes. So maybe our physicians don't care too much about correct Latin .
