Ortho word - "apnea" and pseudosubluxation that were reserved initially - Anne
Posted: Apr 05, 2011
AP and Y views of the shoulder show that there is improved alignment with the humeral head as far as the deltoid s/l "apnea" and pseudosubluxation that were reserved initially. Thanks in advance felllow MTers!
could be deltoid atony. nm. - FlaMT
[ In Reply To ..]x
perhaps look up the definition before you jump - mt
[ In Reply To ..]online. Atony means the loss of muscle strength or power, not something you can see on an x-ray.
how about atrophy? - jac
[ In Reply To ..]could be deltoid atrophy seen on x-ray, wasting away (shriveling) of muscles, QA person
about jumping... - I agree with deltoid atony
[ In Reply To ..]The doctor is discussing improved alignment compared to previously observed state of deltoid atony resulting in subluxation.
Sounds reasonable to me.
observed, not reserved - fyi
