sl Buckwalter cast - ld

Posted: Feb 15, 2010

The patient recently had surgery (ORIF) on his hand for two fractures. He is now in a "buckwalter" cast. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Could he/she be slurring "Bohler cast?" used for hand fractures?...nm - Cyndiee

He is pretty clear dictator and says it clearly twice. The patient had percutaneous pinning of the 5th metatarsal, so I'm guessing it's some kind of cast used to hold the pins in place. Further supporting that theory, he no longer needs it now that the pins are removed. I don't usually do osteo, so I don't have the appropriate references. Thanks.

LOL, do them all the time, but I am stumped with that pronunciation for hand!..nm - Cyndiee

This is exciting, you guys! Our local NPR station (where I work full time) is planning to air an hour-long radio cast about the effects of the electronic medical records implementation on our MT careers. I was telling our producer that I worked for 27 years as a full-time MT, both in the clinic/hospital setting and at home, but 5 years ago I could no longer make it financially as a full-time MT. That's when I went to work in the public sector doing something unrelated to t ...

I've never heard this term before, but it sounds very clear. However, I can't verify it? I have, of course, heard of a long-arm cast but just never a "club" cast. Anyone know if this is correct? This is after surgery for web space deepening and doing some ligament transfer and ligament reconstructions on the hand, when he's doing the final dressing and puts on a cast at the end of the surgery. Thanks in advance. ...
