Inflammation of calcaneal bursa - sb
Posted: Oct 17, 2010
This dr is coughing into the mic while she's dictating this portion, so I have no idea what she is trying to say...she is describing an xray for a patient with polyarthralgia. "The x-ray of her left foot, 3/09, showed tibiotalar joint effusion, subcutaneous edema superficial to the medial malleolus without evidence of internal derangement. S/l fluid in the s/l metrocane calcaneal bursa suggesting mild inflammation, as well as the fluid in the posterior tibial and flexor digital s/l ob sheaths."
I'm not sure if 'metrocane' was just a slip and I'm pretty sure 'ob' is part of one or both words before and after it. Thanks for any ideas you have!
If dictator is coughing and words are obscured, best to leave a blank - and not guess

Voshell Bursa?
Aug 24, 2012
I did search and found some results in Google, but they don't seem to be too reliable in terms of being credible, so I'm not 100% confident if what I heard is right. There isn't much in context other than, "It seems to be concentrated in the s/l Voshell bursal region. She is tender over that bursa significantly." Is this right? ...
