Tibiotalar Joint ?

I've seen these (and used these) words both ways interchangeably and my boss has never said anything, but I was wondering which was correct... or if these are the type of words that can go either way depending on how they are used in the sentence.

Doc says: "Patient has some s/l ageefacee joint arthritis." In googling I found "age facet joint arthritis" but I have no idea if this is right. Can this be right? Who pronounces "age" as "agee"??

It sounds like he is saying, "A/P view of the pelvis shows no (s/l) hypo- or hyper- sacroiliac joint pathology of concern." I have never heard those two words put together before and I'm not sure what he means.
