s/l A and A with chondroplasty - orthohelp

Posted: Dec 11, 2013

I can't wrap around what "A and A" would mean, but this is what he says, "We will set him up for an A&A of his left knee with chondroplasty." I found ANA, but he is clearly saying "and". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Appreciate the suggestion, but doc says A&A clearly - orthohelp

EUA would make sense, though. I'm trying to think of what A&A would stand for with chondroplasty. Thanks for the help.

arthroscopy and arthroplasty? - nm

Not sure - orthohelp

I'm not sure as I didn't think you could have both at the same time. I thought one is a clean out procedure (arthroscopy) and the other is a replacement (arthroplasty)?

If you are certain you hear A&A maybe it means - anesthesia and arthroscopy

I have typed ortho for 18 years and have never heard of A&A but maybe this is just something he says and it is not necessarily a medical term if you will.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind :) - orthohelp

I sent it to QA because I've never heard of it as well.
