Musculoskeletal exam/ankle - Sheri

Posted: Aug 23, 2010

I'm having trouble figuring out what is being said in the musculoskeletal portion of this physical exam. "Full range of motion of the ankles. No (s/l ankle ITP) tenderness." It kind of sounds like there is an "M" sound in there between ankle and ITP, but it could just be that she is running the words together.

Could be MTP (metatarsophalangeal) - no1joe

That would be the foot if the doc is examining the ankle and foot area. Hope this helps! : )

Sorry... forgot this - no1joe

Or it could be ITP (interphalangeal), but I've usually seen that abbreviated IP.

MTP for metatarsophalangeal? - ddd

"No tenderness in the ankles or MTPs." She was running everything together...I listened to it again after reading everyone's suggestions and finally heard it. Thanks for the help!

(s/l minimal or medial ulnaral) deviation. Enlargement of the 2nd and 3rd MCPs of the bilateral hands." I know ulnaral isn't a word, but that's what it sounds like she is saying. She is breathing heavily into the mic with both s/l, so the sounds are altered. A ...
