Zimmer knee components IB/II or I/B II - muggins123
Posted: Feb 17, 2010
Dictated "Zimmer I B 2 knee components..." and it is a total knee replacement of patella, tibia and femur. On the manufacturer website, I find both "IB/II" (patella) and "I/B II" (tibia). I cannot find this in the BOS or any of the Stedman's books.
Is there a standard format for this brand in orthopedics surgical reports?
Thanks so much for any guidance you can provide. :-)
I go by the spelling on manufacturer's website nm - kip

As I stated, I found BOTH formats on the - muggins123
[ In Reply To ..]manufacturer's website. So which one is the "standard" used in operative reports?
either/or I would think...sm - kip
[ In Reply To ..]since Insall and Burstein were the inventors, I would think it wouldn't matter one iota if you separate their initials with a slash or a hyphen. Just a thought.
Thanks... - muggins123
[ In Reply To ..]I didn't know that. Great to have new info! :-)

I'm having trouble figuring out which punctuation this needs, if any. The Zimmer website says "IB/II" but I can't find any other source that uses a slash, the rest use a hyphen like "IB-II". When in doubt, do we go with what the manufacturer uses? Thanks. ...
Zimmer IB/II Knee Components
Jan 06, 2011
I am doing a report on a knee arthroplasty using the Zimmer IB/II knee component and am having trouble with the language. First, I would like to know if "Zimmer IB/II" is the correct way or should it be "Zimmer IB2"? Also, the next line goes as follows: "A *sag 64 tibia, 64 femur, 35 patella, and 12 mm-height tibial articular surface was used". The word "sag" sounds like "sauje" but I cannot find how to spell it. Does anyone know of a website to research this? I have lo ...
