1.The source text references and the documentation problem: one of the issues regarding the translation process was the documentation problem. This procedure went beyond reviewing references, and involved searching for equivalents for certain phrases or terms appearing in the text, which refer to specific definitions of the subject area. In order to do so, I had to investigate:
a)differences between biceps and rotator cuff
b)the meaning of an allogenic transplant
c)the reference of WST-1 proliferation assay
2.Specialized terminology: the use of specialized terminology led me to consult some expressions, phrases and words, such as:
a)mesenchymal stem cells
b)reverse shoulder prosthesis

3.Use of passive voice: the source text uses passive voice to offer information regarding references. In this sense, the solution put in place in the majority of the cases was the reflexive passive voice to ensure the logical arrangement of the grammatical elements. Some examples of this use are the following expressions:
a)“Muscle-tendon-transfer operations are not only limited” translated as “Las intervenciones de transferencia músculo-tendón no solo son limitadas”.
b)“Until now, however, it has not completely been understood which tendon tissue is to be used to isolate autologous TDC” translated as “Aún así, hasta ahora no se ha entendido totalmente qué tejido tendinoso se utilizará para aislar las CDT autólogas”.
