Wrist fracture discharge summary
I'm particularly not sure about how to handle the terms "survenu sur" and "un terrain medical complique". Context: The woman fell and is being treated for a Colles' fracture.
"La chute est survenu sur un terrain medical compliqué en raison d'une corticotherapie au long cours du myeloma"
By try:
"The fall occurred within a complicated medical predisposition resulting from long-term corticosteroid therapy for myeloma"
or possibly "...occurred within in a complicated medical context resulting from..."
Thank you in advance and Mery Christmas and Happy Hanukah and holidays to everyone!

turned into a complicated medical case
I would turn the sentence around, like
'An existing long term corticosteroid therapy for myeloma turned the fall into a complicated medical case.'
'An existing long term corticosteroid therapy for myeloma turned the fall into a complicated medical case.'

happened to a woman who already had a complicated medical history
I don't think "turned into" is right as the complicated medical background was prior to the fall as far as I understand the phrase.
Peer comment(s):

philgoddard
: You can't say "a woman" because this is a discharge summary.

13 juil. 2016 - Dexamethasone and the other steroids are useful in myeloma treatment because they can stop white blood cells from traveling to areas where cancerous myeloma cells are causing damage. This decreases the amount of swelling or inflammation in those areas and relieves associated pain and pressure.

This sounds the most medical jargon-y to me, while still being as straightforward as the FR original. I agree with Liz Askew that "in the context of a medical history" is the best translation for "sur un terrain médical."
