Tinel sign shows "diffuse axium" sm - Terri

Posted: Dec 15, 2010

... and noticed only a weakly positive Tinel sign on the left, but certainly in just a little bit of "disuse axium" all muscles (median and ulnar) of both hands, but it was minimal and not that out of line with his stated age of 79.

It actually sounds like disuse, but thought diffuse. Second word sometimes sounds like ax fume, lol Thanks.

Maybe disuse atrophy? - lexluther

OK..... It's an orthopedic chart note. Patient has a chief complaint of hip pain. Dictated: He has a negative [s/l fair, fairs, varus?] sign, a negative fabere sign. It doesn't sound like fadir; I'm not hearing that "d." I already had to leave two medication blanks and hate to leave another one for an orthopedic sign that I feel like I should know! Thank you in advance for your help and ideas! ...
