German term

Cubita

German to English Medical Medical (general) Anatomy
The following comes from an Austrian medical report:

Die Patientin kommt zur Sonographie bei klinisch Thrombophlebitis im Bereich der rechten Cubita bei Z.n Venenverweilkatheteranlage.

I cannot find this term in any of my dictionaries - I suspect this is the elbow. Can someone confirm this, please?

I'm pretty sure Cubita is a rarely used or archaic term for Fossa cubitalis: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Centralblatt_für_die_Gr...

elbow [region]

GE:
Cubita = die Ellenbeuge (f)
Cubitus = der Ell[en]bogen (m)

EN:
elbow

Hence suggestion:
im Bereich der rechten Cubita = in the right elbow region

For example:
A three-phase bone scan showed increased uptake in the right elbow joint in the bone phase and slightly increased tracer distribution in the right elbow region during the arterial and blood-pooling phase.

... female, age sixty-one years, admitted to the service of
Dr. xxx, at the Central Free Dispensary, March g, 1914, complaining
of pain and swelling of the right elbow region, which followed an injury sustained
two months previously.

A non-cuffed HD catheter (triple lumen, polyurethane, 12 French) was inserted into the right IJV on day 2 of admission and an AVG was created on the right elbow region on day 11

Peer comment(s):

neutral uyuni : "Ellenbeuge/"Cubita" denominates the volar portion of the elbow (region) only. The latter term, however, encompasses the entire elbow (both volar and dorsal side)...
