LPC

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) MRI Knee Scan - Resonancia magnética rodilla
Informe sobre una resonancia magnética realizada en una rodilla. Hospital español. La frase es la siguiente:

"Existen múltiples aunque pequeños cuerpos osteocondrales libres posicionados por detras del LCP"

No consigo encontrar lo que es una LCP para traducirlo al inglés de Reino Unido. ¿Alguien puede ayudarme? ¡Gracias de antemano!

MRI Knee Scan report. Spanish hospital. The sentence is as follows:

"Existen múltiples aunque pequeños cuerpos osteocondrales libres posicionados por detras del LCP"

I cannot find information about what LCP is to translate it into British English. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Anatomical terms and abbreviations will be the same in US and UK English.

Note that you changed the order of the initials in your title. You'll find many, many more entries under LCP (ligamento cruzado posterior) than LPC.

For future reference when you have other Spanish medical initialisms/acronyms, you should consult Cosnautas (cosnautas.com). You will find over 30,000 entries (including LCP) with often multiple meanings for each. Cosnautas is free to use; they just require that you register on the site.

There is also the hard-copy Medical Abbreviations - Spanish/English masterwork by Ian Beattie. It contains over 14,000 entries (including LCP) and gives the English version of each.
