A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Dictated: MRI reported as positive for minimal s/l truckation (truh-KAY-shun) of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, possibly secondary to prior injury. No displaced meniscal fragment was identified.
I was thinking "truncation" (shortening), but does that fit in context? I have not heard with regard to menisci before.
Thanks for any help.
