Ankle surgery... - sw

Posted: Jun 28, 2010

I'm having trouble deciphering a few words in this sentence dealing with ankle surgery to remove intracuticular sutures. "Tourniquet was placed (about/above?) the left thigh and a (s/l bump) placed beneath the left hip. The lower extremity was then prepped and draped in sterile fashion." I can't tell if he's saying about or above, although I'm not sure if above would make any sense in that sentence, and I'm not sure if bump would make sense, either.

Above and pump? - J-nm

About and bump - Oracle

If you think about the first one, what is above the thigh that the surgeon could be a tourniquet around for ankle surgery? The waist?

And they like to put a bump under the hip because it takes the pressure off that side of the body so it's easier to move the ankle around for the surgery.
