trial components for knee replacement called s/l "lolly box" - jobel
Posted: Jun 11, 2012
After true tibial base plate cemented in, s/l trials then carried out with the "lolly bopx" or "Law lee .. box or vaults or ? " Anybody?? Thanks!! (It's an Oxford.)
I'm having trouble figuring out which punctuation this needs, if any. The Zimmer website says "IB/II" but I can't find any other source that uses a slash, the rest use a hyphen like "IB-II". When in doubt, do we go with what the manufacturer uses? Thanks. ...
Dictated "Zimmer I B 2 knee components..." and it is a total knee replacement of patella, tibia and femur. On the manufacturer website, I find both "IB/II" (patella) and "I/B II" (tibia). I cannot find this in the BOS or any of the Stedman's books.
Is there a standard format for this brand in orthopedics surgical reports?
Thanks so much for any guidance you can provide. :-) ...
I am doing a report on a knee arthroplasty using the Zimmer IB/II knee component and am having trouble with the language. First, I would like to know if "Zimmer IB/II" is the correct way or should it be "Zimmer IB2"?
Also, the next line goes as follows: "A *sag 64 tibia, 64 femur, 35 patella, and 12 mm-height tibial articular surface was used". The word "sag" sounds like "sauje" but I cannot find how to spell it.
Does anyone know of a website to research this? I have lo ...
Everytime he does an exam for someone after a knee replacement he says:
"Range of motion is stable. (?) is intact. The calf is supple and nontender."
It sounds like (caution???). I am sure that is not it, but that is the closest s/l.
Thanks in advance if you have any ideas. ...
Doctors dictates what sounds like patient had a "unicondylar or a PC2 knee replacement." Is PC2 correct? Can't find any documentation of this.
Thanks! ...
struggling with a clinic note regarding knee replacement.
Knees are postive ---- in both, right is particularly bad. It is extremely loose.
missing word sounds like it starts with a 'd'.

I am wondering would it make sense to say "She had some tenderness with palpation "near the border" of the patella. Or would it be better to type "She had some tenderness with palpation of the knee "above" the patella." I am not sure what I am hearing.
Thanks.

what the correct expanded form of this would be? It is a TKR. I think PS might be posterior stabilized, but I am stumped with the rest. Check on Google, went to Biomet Vanguard site. No help. TIA ...
On 01/07/11, the knee was removed, resection of heterotopic bone, **excision of prior surgical scar** and insertion of an antibiotic spacer block was performed. Questioning excision of prior surgical scar. Does this make sense? Thanks :) ...
Someone's got encephalitis! And my Asian doctor is trying to dictate various components to the CSF, which I cannot understand to save my life. It sounds like she might be saying C3, C4, possibly CH50 (I googled this but don't know if it's right). If anyone has expertise in this area or a good site to recommend where I can find out about CSF and what's in it, please let me know. Please please please. ...
It does not look like my original Smartype. There is only a suggestion box and no Smartline like I am used to, but I have adjusted the suggestion box and it's better. I am getting used to it. I like how fast it is. The vocabulary seems bigger, especially the phrases.
I'm going to spend some time importing my old ST entries this afternoon.
Overall I really like it and will likely purchase it with the current special. At least I can stop worrying about w ...

Help! The doctor is saying... a clinical trial of possibly Vidaza plus "verunastat" - I cannot seem to find anything for the second drug anywhere. This is for AML. Anyone come across that before? Any input is helpful! Thanks. ...
Does anyone know of a free online trial medical spellchecker I can try? What is the best medical spellchecker (without breaking bank)? I need one for work but have no idea what one to go with. Input appreciated. ...
I am downloading the free 30-day trial of Instant Text. I thought that you could pay so much per year to use Instant Text, but the only thing I see for paying said $189 to buy it. Maybe I am mistaken, and it was another expander I'm thinking of. Anybody know? TIA :) ...
The patient is not quite 3 months postoperative revision of the S/L polyne replacement on his right knee.
