Ortho knee surgery help retractor name - starstruck
Posted: Mar 15, 2010
Surgeon is using a Homan/Hohmann retractor. I found both terms in the Tessier Surgical Word Book and also both terms used regarding this arthroscopic knee replacement surgery via Google. What I need is an MT who has some experience with this and can advise me as to which is correct. This is my first operative report for ortho. I need an Obi-Wan to my Luke!
retractor - icmt
[ In Reply To ..]Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words has Hohmann bone retractor.
Clear as mud - Good luck
[ In Reply To ..]While you are waiting for your Obi-Wan, here is something to mull over. Evidently, this discussion has been had before on this Board. If all else fails, I would get a final determination from your MTSO/QA. If you are an Independent Contractor, I would call the Surgery Department at the Hospital and ask them to look on their instrument inventory list.

Secretly... - starstruck
[ In Reply To ..]...I always hope that someone here will have THE definitive answer, but I've realized that's probably impossible. It was easier to get help when I first started transcribing over a year ago. Now, answers are tougher to come by because the things I have questions about now are more specialized. If that makes any sense. When I was first typing my questions were "Sounds like Mark-ane. Any ideas?" Now it's all prostheses and retractors and surgical instruments--and a million brand names. Maybe I'll just get a light saber...
