I need some help PLEASE. I keep getting flagged when I expand the ORIF abbreviation, no matter which way I attempt it.
open reduction internal fixation
open reduction, internal fixation
open reduction and internal fixation
Are these correct or incorrect? Are there others I am not aware of.
The Stedman's Abbreviations, Acronyms & Symbols (Third Edition) shows with a connecting "and" as "open reduction and internal fixation."
The Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words (Third Edition) shows with an inserted comma as "open reduction, internal fixation."
On internet search, it is simply "open reduction internal fixation." This was the way I had transcribed it for years without any problems.
My Stedman books are older editions, so maybe a newer edition narrows it down to one way.
Thank you.
