Ortho dictation - ala


Posted: Nov 04, 2013

I am doing a dictation  for the release of coracoacromial ligamement, right shoulder.

The part I am working on starts out as :

The sheath was then opened to make sure that the tendon was intact, which it was. It did however show some hyperemia where it was impinging.  An (aleavement) [Sounds like this word in red] was then released and a section of it was removed using blunt and sharp dissection with Metzenbaum scissors.

ANY IDEAS?

maybe "was impinging, and the ligament was then released..."? - nm
