s/l "loly poly" - matty
Posted: Jan 13, 2010
A: Spiral fracture of the right distal fibula, nondisplaced and stable.
P: We discussed his fracture needs to be strictly non weightbearing. We then placed him in a long appropriately sized cast boot with Velcro straps. He was then placed in a wheelchair and transferred out to his vehicle. His wife was driving him home. We also dispensed a prescription for a s/l "loly poly"......
Pretty sure is not roly poly.
Thanks!
What word comes after the s/l? - MTMom
[ In Reply To ..]It will help figure out the s/l, like is it a type of equipment, a Rx, or what.

Due to his fall he has some pain in the upper back and shoulders as well and this would be much easier than attempting to use his crutches. If he does use crutches he is to use two. We also recommended he keep his foot up and elevated.

I think the dictator is talking about a knee walker, as an alternative to crutches. Check medical supply companies. I found this one above, but it's the closest I could find. Check Google and maybe you'll find another brand name.
I think Dr means some kind of "pulley"...nm - fibula
