total hip arthroplasty - liz
Posted: Dec 08, 2009
A couple of things I just cant understand, this DR sounds like he is drunk this morning! "status post left s/l amelano total hip arthroplasty for AVN with collapse" "internal and external range of motion over the s/l sick or sit joint is quite benign" Patient received an injection into the SI joint, so I am wondering if he is saying SIC joint. Is the sacroiliac joint abbreviated in this way sometimes? Cannot reference that. Dr is getting ESR, CRP and sed rate to make sure there is no "s/l embolent infection" "The prosthetic may not be completely seated and has a slight s/l zone two lucency" Thanks SO much!
THA...sm - babs
[ In Reply To ..]Could be saying metal-on-metal THA. SIC joint is probably his way of saying SI joint. Indolent (slow growing) infection.
Zone II lucency is correct...nm - babs

This may be a word, it may be two acronyms, or it may be even one acronym. I have no idea. Sounds like "positiv ...

Total System Hours?

I am wondering how they calculate these as I know it is not the time that you are clocked into Enterprise. I am guessing that they are somehow able to determine when you are actively working in Enterprise--typing, listening to audio, etc.? The thing that c ...
