This one drives me crazy!!  I couldn't find it in the AAMT:  Is it:


(a) nonweight-bearing;


(b) non-weight-bearing


(c) non weight-bearing


(d) non weightbearing


Or none of the above?!!


Thanks!

Subject: weight bearing

how about non weight-bearing?  How would you appropriately punctuate/hyphenate that one?
non weight bearing
Subject: non weight bearing

proper way would be nonweight-bearing but you can also type it as non-weight-bearing.  In the medical dictionary - weight-bearing, therefore, nonweight-bearing.

Subject: I generally use semicolons because something like

every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or MED 50 mg, one p.o. b.i.d. would mandate semicolons, and it's easier to use them to start with than go back and change them. I was taught to use semicolons; if you use comma you need to add the "and" at the end. This is very old school from the 1970s, though.

that's what they're asking about, as most of us make typos when we're just posting to one of the boards here, looking for a quick answer .... :-) But, just wanted to give you a heads-up that a few things might have needed a second look there.

His MRI arthrogram unfortunately has showed a fair amount of arthrosis. He has been read as having a superior labrale tear, but I think this is likely a normal sulcus.

TREATMENT/PLAN: I am going to put him on some meloxicam. We will see how this affects his osteoarthritis of the hip, and I will see him back as needed. We have talked also about using cushion-soled shoes, s/l fluid exercise program with a non-resistive stationary bike and swelling or the like.
