Journal article
Hi,
I am currently translation an article on current and future trends of total knee arthroplasties. The author uses the word "dynamique" a lot in this manuscript and I am not sure how to translate it. For instance:
"Nous proposons d'étudier la dynamique des PTG sur la base des des données nationales, pour ...."
or
"Notre hypothèse est qu'il existe une dynamique à la hausse différente pour chaque sexe et catégorie d'âge"
Could "dynamique" in these instances mean "momentum" or "trends"?
Thanks
Joanna

Background
Les arthroplasties totales du genou (PTG) sont en augmentation constante depuis plusieurs décennies en Europe et aux USA. Bien qu’en progression dans tous les pays, leur croissance est inégale : faible en Europe du Nord et centrale, en ralentissement aux USA et exponentielle au Royaume-Uni. Pour la France, une croissance de +32,2 % des actes d’arthroplasties unicompartimentales et totales du genou a été recensée entre 2012 et 2018, mais aucune étude n’a focalisé sur l’évolution des actes de PTG et l’évolution du statut des malades qui bénéficient d’une PTG. Aussi, nous avons ainsi mené sur la base des données nationales françaises une étude des actes pour déterminer : 1) l'évolution des tendances de croissance par sexe et par âge, (2) l'observation ou non d'un rajeunissement, (3) l’évolution de l’état de comorbidité des patients lors de l’opération, et (4) la stabilisation future du taux d'incidence ou pas et la prévision pour 2050.
Hypothèse
Notre hypothèse était qu’en France, il existait une dynamique à la hausse différente pour chaque sexe.

p.s.
I see the last sentence in French has been translated as
Hypothesis
In France, the number of TKA procedures is rising in both males and females but the pace of the increases differs between sexes.

: Joanna will have to find a different translation each time, because "dynamics" is not a word that you can keep repeating.

Yes, it seems limp in comparison to the dynamism (hate the word, but hey, Obama used it) of the French, and it will depend on what they actually mean by la dynamique des PTG, but consider that you can have a 'growth pattern' or different growth patterns for different ages and genders.
You could even combine it with 'trends', as here:
"This series of releases for the CJRR annual report highlights trends and patterns in hip and knee replacements in Canada over time"
https://www.cihi.ca/en/cjrr-annual-report-hip-and-knee-repla...

: Another of many possibilities but, as I mentioned, you have to find lots of different ways to say it.

And that, my dear friend, is the very art of (human) translation itself.

Dynamics are about energy and an ability to produce desirable and intended effects.
It's also about development and evolution through time.
It's relative to strength, energy and movement.

Dynamics exist with respect to data monitoring committees on clinical trials.

Also, there's an NHS web page called Dynamic Health. It gives some constructive advice and guidance on self help to strengthen the knee joint with exercise.
It instructs a visit to the doctor if pain and problems persist.

liz askew
: you need to look at the meaning in French and French descriptions of its meaning, and find out how this can be translated into English.
