Carpal tunnel surgery - HereIGoAgain


Posted: Jan 19, 2012

The surgeon is saying on carpal tunnel OP report:  A s/l "sin" was placed, and there was direct visualization of the release back to 2-cm proximal to the distal palmar crease.  I would appreciate any help for the "sin" word.  Cannot find it anywhere and don't know if it is jargon or an acronym, device, or what.  Thanks.

Maybe he's saying "incision"?

Carpal Tunnel & Ergo Keyboards

I cannot find anything anywhere that is spelled interthecal. "Thecal" means "relating to a sheath, especially a tendon sheath." I suppose he could be meaning "between the ...
