How do you say bone socket in spanish?

Question

I am going through a list of medical terminologies for interpreting, can anyone help? Thx.

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum

bone socket: articulación

Answer 2

Thanks for your help but I'm not sure if that is accurate. When I looked that up it said it meant a joint such as your hip joint. Does anyone know if there is a more specific way of saying this or is articulacion generally used?

articulación is joint. Socket is Cuenca - MosesNavarro, JUN 19, 2014

Answer 3

Hello,

I found this online...

La traducción de "bone socket" varía. Por ejemplo, en la cadera es el "acetábulo", en la mandíbula o maxilar es "alvéolo dentario", en la zona del ojo es la "órbita". Los términos generales incluyen "depresión", "fóvea", "fosa", "hueco", "cúpula", "cavidad", etc.

Hope you find what you are looking for.
