Subject: 2nd post - s/l Shawn's wrap

Diagnosis is knee contusion. 


Full sentence:  She was placed in a s/l Shawn's wrap. 


This is a clear speaking dictator and QA hasn't sent me any feedback either.  Any ideas?  I am really stumped with this one and there is not a lot of info to go on.

Subject: Surgery term, s/l wrap towel, sm

Here is the complete sentence:

Using the Bovie electrocautery, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal incision was made along the depth of the mucobuccal fold through the previous Lefort osteotomy incision that was placed during the _____ expansion procedure.

Yep, it's in mine too. I just couldn't wrap my brain around what it was exactly.
Subject: Yep, it's in mine too. I just couldn't wrap my brain around what it was exactly.

But I think it is an anatomic landmark. I just thought if it was, it would be in one of my medical dictionaries or defined somewhere online more definitively!

Thank you all for your help!
s/l baseball wrap applied? (can anyone verify this?) TIA
Subject: s/l baseball wrap applied? (can anyone verify this?) TIA

Patient in with a burn has a "Vaseline Adaptic baseball wrap" applied to his hand?

Vaseline dressing I know. Adaptic dressing I know. Baseball wrap/dressing I cannot seem to find or verify anywhere.

Also, I can't find all three of them together anywhere either. (nor just Vaseline and Adaptic together- and since Adaptic looks to also be petroleum jelly like Vaseline I don't quite get it- but I'm willing to buy it.)

I am searching my references as we speak, nothing seems really close in sound, for contusion, usually they use an Ace wrap bandage and gauze (or some other elastic-type bandage), ice, and elevate, and rest.  I will keep looking, though!!

I had a blank on a podiatry exam that my QA filled in like this...


"would recommended a modified Weil osteotomy to decompress the joint along with opening up and cleaning up any osteophytes and possibly a colectomy of the second metatarsophalangeal joint."


I had a blank where the word colectomy is.  I've never heard of a colectomy of the MTP joint.  I did a search but didn't find anything.  I'd like to document it if it exists.
