New to Orthopedics - need word help! - Serious
Posted: Jun 01, 2010
I am new to an orthopedics account with a dictator who is so marble mouthed, I feel like crying! Here is the sentence:
His ___ s/l signal within the lateral femoral condyle and medial patellar facet suggest patellar subluxation as well as some ____ s/l signal up in the medial retinaculum.
Any help would be appreciated -- I am not having a good time tonight...
Revised the Sentence a little... - Serious
[ In Reply To ..]His ___ (s/l signal) within the lateral femoral condyle and medial patellar facet suggest patellar subluxation as well as some ____ (s/l signal) up in the medial retinaculum.
I have not done ortho is ages and dont have time to really help - right now but try this...
[ In Reply To ..]Go to google and type in exactly what you have typed here. You can use the asterisk as a wild card, even. See what hits come up and what you're looking for might pop up. I've had it happen.
Thanks - but I always do that as my 1st "go to" - Serious
[ In Reply To ..]I have already tried researching it in my Stedman's Orthopedic Words book, Google, etc. That̢۪s why I went ahead and posted in MTStars! I did decide, after much researching, that the word was probably "signal" though...

I've searched the internet for clues, but all I see are instructions for converting 2007 to 2003. Nothing about converting 2013 to 2010. If I can't ge ...
