2 words-orthopaedic - gramercy

Posted: Mar 29, 2012

I just started with an orthopaedic group. I am having a heck of a time finding this test. He says "Negative (open can). Negative drop-arm test." I know there is such a thing as Empty can test but it sounds nothing like "empty can". Sounds like "open can". Is there such a thing? Also, is it post injection, post-injection or postinjection. I see it written all 3 ways online from medical manuals, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

found this in the internet, - sm

Thanks so much! Could not find open can test anywhere. found all kinds of tests and the closest was "Empty can". What is your tried and true MT sample report site that you use?

Thanks again, sm. I always value your advice from reading other posts. You are very helpful.

I don't have one. I just went out on the internet and found this - and one below, nm (no message inside, not my name)
