test for medial meniscus tear - starstruck
Posted: Feb 25, 2011
Laundry list of tests including s/l Kessler/Tesler/Pesler test. Any ideas?
Thessaly; maybe - Annie
[ In Reply To ..]Can you hear Thessaly
"The Thessaly test at 20° of flexion had high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting medial and lateral meniscal tears"
There's definitely an "er" sound at the end of the test - starstruck
[ In Reply To ..]I can't think what this could be. I have numerous web sites with knee tests, even specifically meniscus tears, and I type for this doc all the time but I just can't seem to get this. I hadn't heard of a Thessaly test before, so thank you for that information.
Could it be one of those accents that adds an - R to the end of words
[ In Reply To ..]Can't think of a good example right off the bat, but a bad example might be somebody who says "feller" instead of "fellow."
And then there are dictators that just plain mispronounce things all the time, and make up words.
typical tests done for meniscus tears are - orthogirl
[ In Reply To ..]McMurray's test, Steinmann, Appley, as well as Thessaly's, Wilson, and Bohler.
Good information - starstruck
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks for the names of these tests. I've only heard of the McMurray and Apley tests before. I'm really weak on ortho as I don't type it that often and there are SO many things to remember in that specialty. Appreciate your time and help.
Was QA able to give you an answer - Also new
[ In Reply To ..]I also am adding to my list of ortho words. Did QA or the dictator give you what the name of the test is? Thank you for passing it on. Have a great day.

Labral Tear On MRI Sounds Like "passomneumonic'?

sounds like passomneumonic? MRI does reveal evidence of a partial‑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! ...
