Is there a generally-applicable meaning of the word "siisti" as used in medical texts?
I just worked on a text describing a person's ankle surgery, which included descriptions like
"jänne on siisti"
"peroneaalinen retinaculum on siististi paksuuntunut"
"sinus tarsi on siisti"
Thanks for any assistance

intact, clean, smooth, neat
In my experience, the translation depends a little on the context, i.e. a tendon could be clean or intact, sometimes even smooth, I guess. Tarsal sinus could be clean and peroneal retinaculum smoothly thickened, for instance. Wound edges could be neat or smooth.
