I am wondering would it make sense to say "She had some tenderness with palpation "near the border" of the patella. Or would it be better to type "She had some tenderness with palpation of the knee "above" the patella." I am not sure what I am hearing.
Thanks.

Surgeon is using a Homan/Hohmann retractor. I found both terms in the Tessier Surgical Word Book and also both terms used regarding this arthroscopic knee replacement surgery via Google. What I need is an MT who has some experience with this and can advise me as to which is correct. This is my first operative report for ortho. I need an Obi-Wan to my Luke! ...
The * (could be one or two words, I can't even describe what it sounds like!) about the upper and lower extremities were all padded.
Thanks
S/L plain poralances? ...
The patient had a s/l knee surgery with a s/l Cardizel Olds?? enzyme procedure.
He performed this ten years ago and I cannot really hear clearly what he is saying. Any ideas? Thanks. ...
Sounds like "The arthroscopic [shiv] was used in order to perform a chondroplasty of the patella." Does anyone have any ideas what the word is?
Thanks in advance! ...
Sounds like he says "the arthroscopic limb was redirected to the subacromial space." Is there something else that someone can think of for the limb? It sounds strange to me... ...
Stumped here. :(
Surgeon says:
Two screws fractured at the level of the bone. They were ____________ and removed in the usual fashion.
The blank sounds like "truffened", "troughened", "truffined"? Some sort of removal. I have absolutely no idea.
Thanks in advance. :) ...
The doctor dictates: Radiographs and examination are consistent with a fixed flexion contracture *in various* knee... I know he did not say "various", but it sounds that way. What could he be saying? Thanks!
...
Everytime he does an exam for someone after a knee replacement he says:
"Range of motion is stable. (?) is intact. The calf is supple and nontender."
It sounds like (caution???). I am sure that is not it, but that is the closest s/l.
Thanks in advance if you have any ideas. ...
I made a longitudinal oriented incision and expressed some purulence out with pressure, cephalad and caudad, knee-v-eel, and lateral.
The patient has a infected brown recluse bite on his anterior proximal lateral knee. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. ...
Left shoulder injury
Supine exam demonstrates a s/l knee RA position of approximately 80 degrees..."
Does not sound like it makes sense (knee arthritis in the shoulder?). It has to be something else, but I cannot make any other words out and it clearly sounds like knee RA position. Any help? ...
