Pro-ridgal calcaneal bursitis? - jv

Posted: Oct 09, 2010

I'm having trouble figuring out what this doc is dictating. She's describing the patient's foot pain, "AVN left foot, cellulitis, tendinopathy, plantar calcaneal heel spur, s/l pro-ridgal calcaneal bursitis. She stumbles over the word so I'm not sure if the whole word was a mistake or what exactly.

Nevermind...she said it more clearly further on in the dictation. I was retrocalcaneal. - jv
