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.
Thanks in advance!
