amputation radial tear? - liz

Posted: Dec 10, 2009

"Patient has had an s/l amputation radial tear of the posterior horn, which was treated with partial meniscectomy."

That is what I am clearly hearing but I cannot reference that anywhere. If it is correct, what is it?

Also, DR states he showed the patient the "video prints" so that she understands. I have never heard this before. Is this photos from the surgery video?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks a lot babs. I want to add "of" there but this account is so strict I cant unless I am absolutely sure. I flagged, but that confirmed what I thought it might be.

sounds like passomneumonic? MRI does reveal evidence of a partialâ��thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon as well as tendinosis of the infraspinatus and subscapularis tendons. There is also an abnormality at the anterior superior labrum, which may be consistent with a labral tear but is not passomneumonic based on the fact that this is a noncontrast study. passopneumonic? sounds something like that...
