Posted: Jan 26, 2012
Patient is sent in to ER after a fall. She has had an x-ray that came back negative, but still complains of severe pain in left hip. She may have an s/l au cole/awk hole fracture.

Doctor is dictating for a 90-year-old who sustained a hip fracture in a fall. Then, under assessment, it sounds like he says "Left crural neck fracture." I could assume he means femoral neck, as I never heard of crural neck. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. ...

S/l P-line Type Fracture - But Issue Is Finger, Not Ankle
Dec 01, 2012

Now on the tape it sounded like segmentminution, so i'm wondering if angius is two words also? This may help also: "comminuted fracture through the diaphyseal portion of the distal radius", and "Galeazzi fracture with some disruptio ...
