Ortho word - at which point a curvilinear incision was extended into the base of the HYPOTHENUM - Leximomma
Posted: May 14, 2014
Doc dictating carpal tunnel release OP note. He states "at which point a curvilinear incision was extended into the base of the HYPOTHENUM, volar aspect of right wrist." I cannot verify that "hypothenum" is actually a real word. Has anyone heard of this? Thanks.
Hypothenar eminence. Hypothenum is acceptable. nm - One does not have a "hypothenar."
