Hi, I'm having difficulty finding anything on this word, save for Afrikaans meaning, trouble, difficulty, jam. It appears as follows in an orthopedic clinic patient report:
Rx/ klein fytje mediaal patella, minimale tilt met mogelijk enige dysplasie laterale trochlea?
Thanks for your help!

small osteophyte
small medial patellar osteophyte
kleine osteofyt = osteofytje = (osteo)fytje = fytje
It can be seen on X-ray ... indicates bone
Osteofyten (Grieks ὀστέον bot en φυτόν groeisel) zijn botuitsteeksels, die vaak bij artrose ontstaan aan de randen van gewrichtsvlakken.
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteofyt
Osteophytes is the medical name for the overgrowth of bone tissue more commonly called "bone spurs." Despite the term "spurs," they are actually small round lumps of extra bone that grow around joints. Osteophytes are the body’s attempt to compensate for existing bone and ligament degeneration due to age or injury. Unfortunately, the body’s attempt to heal itself this way is unsuccessful.
I am a 32 year male. I have consistent pain in around my knee cap. X-rays suggest that I have marginal osteophyte growth on my patella. What does it mean?

: does help to know medicine and the source language /sometimes non-natives who know the field can do just as well but it is fairly essential to have some idea of the source language however minute...

Thank you. Exactly, for someone who does not have Dutch as their native language making these kind of linguistic associations is unlikely. Probably this doctor calls them 'fytjes' because they are very familiar with 'osteofyten', like 'business as usual'.

: Cute :-) (I just imagine a German report describing "Phytchen" – impossible!) // Maybe the Swabians could do that, as they minimize even god in their "Grüß Gottle" :-))

Kind of cute, Anne, you grasp the linguistic cuteness and share in the linguistic merrymaking from Germany! :-) Thank you and long live Angela Merkel! She is great as well. :-) // Cute Swabs. :-)

: It's definitely not "no". Klein in Dutch = small. Not so sure about "injury/deficiency" either. See my discussion entry.
