It was also felt that bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome was incidental and unrelated to the industrial injury, based on the mechanism.  Numbness involving the middle, ring, and small fingers would not be consistent; however, she would be worrisome for a s/l CA radiculopathy or a more proximal ulnar nerve injury; however, this was not documented on the EMG nerve conduction studies.  Steroid ganglion block was recommended to determine if she would benefit from this treatment.

Homan vs Hohmann retractor
Subject: Homan vs Hohmann retractor

Anybody know how to distinguish which retractor (Homan vs Hohmann) in ortho operative procedures? Both are listed in the Stedman's. Goggle is confusing me. This specific report is ORIF of medial malleolus fracture.
imho... Hohmann for orthopedics sm
Subject: imho... Hohmann for orthopedics sm

Homan=most commonly a "sign" (calf pain with foot dorsiflexion. Hohmann=orthopedic retractor. Also Holman=lung retractor. I think Google is confusing because Homan is used incorrectly when Hohmann is correct spelling for ortho procedures; I don't think you'll find "Homan retractor" in any surgical instruments catalog, but there are LOTS of catalogs selling Hohmann retractors. My Stedman's only lists Hohmann (but I have an old 2nd ed.)...jmho
