Ortho question - "x 6 assisted" IMN fixation? - sm


Posted: Dec 10, 2010

Dictated:  "The patient is status post (s/l X slash 6 assisted) IMN in October."

I know of IMN fixation, but I can't figure out the X/6 or X-6 before it.  I don't think she means times 6.  Any thoughts?

Could she be saying E-Fix IMN, E-Fix for external fixator? I have typed that before. nm - anon
