A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Under the musculoskeletal portion of the physical exam, it is dictated, "Crepitus of the bilateral knees. No ankle tenderness or swelling. No MTP tenderness. Last (s/l Sjogren's) was 14.5 cm." I'm unsure what she would be measuring here.
Also, I'm still wondering if anyone has any idea about this one, "MRI – mild. SI/degenerative arthritis. Imaging of the hands – small effusion of the carpals and (s/l peroneal) tendinopathy." Another sentence in which she uses it is, "...small effusion in the carpals in evidence of (s/l peroneal) tendinopathy, which can be seen in spondyloarthropathy."
Any help would be so appreciated!!
