Another one of those abbreviations.... or could it be a typo for something else?
It appears beneath "Frågeställning" on a radiology examination results page where an x-ray has been taken of a foot with a suspected dorsal fracture.
I can see no full words in any of the text which might offer any help.
So, if anyone's seen this "sksk" before, please let me know the Swedish word(s) it stands for and, if appropriate, the English that's usually used.
My instruction is otherwise to write a TN. (I have my customer's permission to ask this question on the offchance.)
Thanks in advance
