s/l IND of an open distal phalanx tuft fracture - Serious


Posted: Nov 09, 2010

Working on an orthopaedics dictation for a marblemouth...trying to figure out what "IND" (could be IMB, INB but nothing seems to make sense) of an open distal phalanx tuft fracture...

Anyone know the right abbreviation (and the meaning!) for this one?

 

Thanks -

IND - GT

If there's an abscess, it could be I&D--incision and drainage or irrigation and debridement ??
