Orthopedic shoulder arthroplasty question - SM


Posted: Jun 19, 2015

This is a followup visit for a patient who just had a total shoulder arthroplasty.  I have now had this same blank twice and need to figure out what it is.  

Oh the physical exam the doc dictates, "Passive forward elevation of the right shoulder is about 85 degrees.  External rotation is easily to 30 degrees.  Positive s/l AI and PNIO function."  

This may be a word, it may be two acronyms, or it may be even one acronym.  I have no idea.  Sounds like "positive AI and P&O function."

possible ideas - beulah

the P&O or PNIO might be "piano (key)" sign. Unsure about the AI. Here are descriptions of some tests, though. You can look and see what might make sense.

Orthopedic Testing

This surgeon dictates the same over and over in multiple reports, and I cannot understand what type of testing this is.  "s/l Manuar test reveals 5/5 strength in forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, and abduction." "s/l The remainder of Manuar assessment exam of left upper extremity reveals 5/5 strength throughout all major muscle groups." I thought about the possibility of manual test, but that just does not sound like what he is saying.  Thanks so much! ...
