"The foot was abducted, and a *swrent* was placed in the iliotibial band over the greater trochanter."
What could the sound-alike "swrent" be?? Thanks!! ...
Does anyone know what this word could be? I am transcribing a Keller bunionectomy and it sounds like speck-i-lie-zation or specilization.
Here is the context: The exostosis was removed with osteotome and mallet. This area was then rasped smooth. The area was copiously flushed. No (specilization) was identified.
Thanks in advance - Chris

The patient was supposed to get "a left carpal tunnel decompression, a left cubital tunnel decompression, and a decompression of the *canalicion* It sounds like canal-icky-on. The procedure changed, so I don't have anything else to go off to figure this out. ...
Can I write the following...

Thanks! Kim ...
I can't figure out what the (___) would be. It s/l it could be (loss and) but I was thinking it was going to be a specific type of compression. It also could s/l (___ anti-) compression? It almost s/l moss anti-compression!!
"The nerve itself was atrophic and contracted and constricted consistent with (___) compression."

Hi everyone. The doctor s/l he is saying: "We have also talked about the off labral use of the MP in the posterolateral recess and posterior interbody spacers." I think that's what he is saying, not sure of the bold words. DX is lumbar instability, stenosis & radiculopathy L3-4 and 4-5. There is also a synovial cyst off L3-4. Not able to locate these exact words on any websites/searches. Thanks for any help. ...
At this point, attention was paid to removal of hardware. The s/l K2 tulip removers were used initially in order to unlock the heads. Following this, rods were removed. ...
He currently ambulates with the assistance of a cane and a leg "bend" discrepancy from the initial accident where he has been treated with a leg lift prosthetic device in his shoe
Leg bend ?

Any help? Thanks! ...
Please email me privately and let's get the ball rolling here folks. It's time to try and get everyone together, a very hard thing to do in this industry, so that our voices can be heard and let the powers that be know that we're not going to take this shame any longer! ...

Vitoss and infused bone grafting surgery.
I am not sure about K2 mesa and ten ...
It definitely does not sound like grafting and I don't really believe that would be correct anyway. I thought maybe RAST but I am having no luck with any of my searches. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...
We will begin formal physical therapy at this point beginning with passive range of motion until she reaches full range of motion. At that time, we will advance her with s/l placent holds gradually working into active range of motion.

Alone in-house today and need a little help.
"There is a vague nodular density overlying the anterior first rib approximately 15 mm which suspect is a bone island. The patient will be recalled for lordotic, reverse lordotic, and infused cone of the apices."
Not sure of the bolded part and even less sure about the word apices.
Thanks!
He repeated himself a little clearer later on in the dictation. He said: "The patient will be recalled for lordotic/reverse lordotic vie ...
For a while now, whenever the doctor said, "AP and lateral is taken today," I would change it to "AP and lateral are taken today," but then a thought came to me that what if "AP and lateral" is a single entity, much like "macaroni and cheese," which is usually referred as a single thing. Is that the case with AP and lateral films? ...
An MRI of the lumbosacral spine, also done earlier this year, demonstrates severe neural canal stenosis at L3-4 and L4-5 with bilateral lateral recess and facement, worse in the right at L4-5 with proximal L5 nerve root compression. ...
