Fabere, fabere, or FABERE? - NewOrthoMT

Posted: Oct 24, 2011

Trying to figure out which is the correct spelling. QA did mark it as Fabere's maneuver in a past report, but isn't that an acronym for flexion, abduction, external rotation, extension, or is that acceptable, too? I'm not questioning the QA or anything; I just came across a report that said Fabere's test and wanted to double check :)

Thanks!

According to my Stedman's, it's an acronym either faber (flexion, abduction, external rotation) or fabere (the same plus extension). My question is, since they're pronounced the same, how are we to know which acronym the dictator means?

FABER--Flexion, abduction, external rotation.

FABERE--Flexion, abduction, external rotation, extension.

It can go either way. :)

Just saw today that apparently it is an acronym and should be all caps? ...

I have seen this both ways at my current job, so I don't think it matters, but I'm curious as to which one is correct? Is it Faber sign or fabere sign? ...

OK..... It's an orthopedic chart note. Patient has a chief complaint of hip pain. Dictated: He has a negative [s/l fair, fairs, varus?] sign, a negative fabere sign. It doesn't sound like fadir; I'm not hearing that "d." I already had to leave two medication blanks and hate to leave another one for an orthopedic sign that I feel like I should know! Thank you in advance for your help and ideas! ...

Can anyone tell me which is correct? I have been typing it as FABER for years (acronym), but now have been told that it is faber according to 6th edition I believe of the Stedman's, which I do not have access to. Thanks! ...
