Bonsoir,

MI est en général utilisé pour membres inférieurs (et MS pour membres

supérieurs).

Ça semble aller dans le cas présent.

Bonne soirée

Merci bien pour vos réponses , Ester et Guillaume,

your answer helped me out of big trouble! I mostly translate from English

and are not familiar with French abbreviations; I think I wouldn't have been

able to find this myself.

Have a nice day,

Best regards
