crosse:

Die Crosse ... Die Einmündung der Vena saphena magna (größte oberflächliche Vene der Beine) in die Vena femoralis
(The crosse the opening of the Vena saphena magna into the Vena femoralis)
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosse

The termination point of the GSV into the common femoral vein is called the saphenofemoral junction in the English literature but is known as the crosse (ie, shepherd's crook) in the French medical literature...

...Reflux at or near the SFJ
