German term or phrase: pDI
Hi team,

I'm translating a discharge summary and just can't figure this out for the life of me. It relates to a part of the foot, any ideas?

Here's part of the report for context:

Die Stationäre Aufnahme erfolgte bei peripherer arterieller Verschlusskrankheit im Stadium IV nach Fontaine rechts, bei progredienter Gangrän an pDI rechts.

Explanation:
Hi Lauren,

Since we are talking PAOD, "pDI" could be "proximaler Digitus I" , in other words gangrene of the proximal big toe.

HTH,
Dieter

phalanx distalis I


Explanation:
The gangrene is more likely to start in the distal rather than the proximal phalanx. See link for use of the abbreviation. The use of Latin terms is common in German medical reports.
