Lower extremity exam- digital hair? - cp

Posted: Feb 25, 2011

Is there a type of lower extremity exam that would be done called digital hair? It s/l hair!

DP and PT pulses are palpable bilateral. Positive digital (hair) bilateral. There are no lesions or lacerations noted bilateral. Normal skin color, texture, and turgor bilateral.

It's an exam for a bunion deformity.

Thanks.

Digital....meaning the toes...hair on the toes..nm - GT

typed those very words. When you said extremity exam, I knew what you meant. If there is no hair on the toes, the patient could have diabetes and/or circulatory issues. The digits are toes, so digital... : )

Thanks! It just sounds so strange! - cp

The lower extremities show marked peripheral varicosities. There are also some excoriated lesions of the lower extremities with some mild scarring secondary to __s/l "thorabnitis". Any ideas?

Hi all, There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...
