ORTHO HELP: Negative [s/l fair] sign, negative fabere sign? - MT

Posted: Jun 02, 2012

OK.....

It's an orthopedic chart note. Patient has a chief complaint of hip pain.

Dictated: He has a negative [s/l fair, fairs, varus?] sign, a negative fabere sign.

It doesn't sound like fadir; I'm not hearing that "d." I already had to leave two medication blanks and hate to leave another one for an orthopedic sign that I feel like I should know!

Thank you in advance for your help and ideas!

Are we sure about that? - MT

Thank you for your help, but are we sure about that? I thought the varus test was for the knee?

Would it be done with the fabere test?

Could he just be correcting himself? - sm

Maybe he is correcting himself by repeating the sentence? Just a thought. Also, varus could apply to the hip, i.e., coxa vara.

No I don't think so.... - MT

No I don't think it's just a stumble and correction... but THANK YOU both, I will go back and re-listen for varus again...

FABER= Flexion abduction external rotation of the hip - nm

Thanks but it was FAIR - MT

My ears were right the first time, it was indeed FAIR (hip flexion, adduction, and internal rotation).

On an orthopedics note: He has a positive (s/l meister or myster?) sign when the patient is supine with the shoulder adducted. I've checked the Internet, my Stedman's word book, an ortho website that is usually helpful... nothing at all so far! /: Any ideas, please throw them at me! ...

This is a very negative board. I see misery loves company. If you hate your life and your job, what are you doing here? Oh, maybe thats why you are here. Nothing to do but P and Moan? MTStars? Doesnt look like it. This board needs more positive people. ...

I honestly don't understand all the negative MTs on here. It is very unprofessional to come on here and slam your company. I have been an MT for over 10 years and have always made enough money and I'm proud of what I do and love the money I make, all while working from home. I think most of these negative people are just people who aren't cut out for this profession and I wish they would realize that and go find something else to do. Why would you put your ...

Just wondering where all the people without work are at now, especially after the latest email. Funny how everyone complains about no work but many of the accounts are close to being out of TAT - of course, payday was a couple of days ago so the rush isn't on yet, right? ...

Seriously. The account I'm on has apparently been having lots of critical errors, mostly number errors, lab values etc. So they sent out an email with an attached PDF with a crossword puzzle that we are required to do and turn in. WTF? Is this elementary school? And we are paid by the line. How do they plan to compensate us for our time doing the required crossword puzzle? I find it totally ridiculous. I can't even bring myself to open the attachment to look at the crossword p ...
