amputation question - MT3

Posted: Nov 04, 2010

X-ray of the right long finger shows a s/l transproximal interphalangeal joint disarticulation? I can't find transproximal anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would type it... - GT

trans-proximal. Trans means across and you can form any word you want by adding it. Across the proximal interphalangeal joint... : )

There would be no hyphen if typed transproximal. - NM

"Patient has had an s/l amputation radial tear of the posterior horn, which was treated with partial meniscectomy." That is what I am clearly hearing but I cannot reference that anywhere. If it is correct, what is it? Also, DR states he showed the patient the "video prints" so that she understands. I have never heard this before. Is this photos from the surgery video? Thanks for any help! ...
