s/l right knee likely a meniscal tear - sm

Posted: Jun 22, 2010

Preoperative Diagnosis

Right knee likely/lateral meniscal tear. (I swear it sounds like he is saying likely a meniscal tear. Would this be feasible in a preoperative diagnosis. If so, do I insert a comma after right knee)?

Postoperative Diagnoses

Right knee lateral meniscal tear.

Right knee lateral tibial plateau chondromalacia.

Likely - Carnac

Trust your ear. Likely sounds like something they would say.

No comma, JMO - Carnac

"Patient has had an s/l amputation radial tear of the posterior horn, which was treated with partial meniscectomy." That is what I am clearly hearing but I cannot reference that anywhere. If it is correct, what is it? Also, DR states he showed the patient the "video prints" so that she understands. I have never heard this before. Is this photos from the surgery video? Thanks for any help! ...

sounds like passomneumonic? MRI does reveal evidence of a partialâ��thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon as well as tendinosis of the infraspinatus and subscapularis tendons. There is also an abnormality at the anterior superior labrum, which may be consistent with a labral tear but is not passomneumonic based on the fact that this is a noncontrast study. passopneumonic? sounds something like that... Please help, unable to locate in Stedman's or Internet.... Thanks! ...
