cold it be that the 'femur" rod was removed? - wordlady

sometimes after a rod is put in for a fracture, they remove it years later.

no, neither one of those.... - liz

There is a problem with the audio in a couple of places in this report, and I think that is what is happening here. It is definitely not titanium. Femur could work but I cannot hear it clear enough to use it. Just wanted to make sure this was not a term I was unfamiliar with that fit here. Thanks guys!

Do you hear fluted rod or a steel rod? Usually it is - happynewyear

treated with an intramedullary rod, but your s/l word is much shorter.

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. ...

Everyone is using Nex jig (and I think we were told it was that by Editing), but I can find no mention of it anywhere on the net. Does anyone else use this?

Segond fracture: This was a new one for me today and thought I'd share. See Wikipedia link below for more, but basically it's named after a French doctor (Paul Segond) from 1879.

Good evening everyone. So, this patient had a galeazzi fracture of the forearm. The doctor says about his film study: "On the lateral film I think there is a little angius in the distal fragment, a lot of segment comminution." 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 ...
