OP note ortho - clavicle fracture - Stumped


Posted: Nov 30, 2011

Hi,

Not sure if it should be three or free and what the sounds like is.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

The clavicle and the malunion site were explored and as mentioned we did not find the expected nonunion but instead found a fairly solid malunion with the expected **three (free)** fragments.  The **s/l tergoited** fragment was nestled well posteroinferiorly.

I think it would be "free" fragments, and (sm) - Mushroom

possible "targeted" fragment ?

Ortho Note - "x-fix" ??
Sep 28, 2011

Doing an ortho note, the MD states "currently with left upper extremity X FIX" I was going to assume he meant external fixator, but I don't know if perhaps is this a brand of fixator? I can't find any legit info on it so far, so I'll probably mark it for QA, but wanted to know for my own knowledge if it was a brand of fixator or if he's just using slang. He usually says "external fixator" or "external fixation" all out and that's why I was questioning it this time. Tha ...
