callus/callous
Subject: callus/callous

I'm a little confused about callus/callous.  I know that "callous" is supposed to be like a callus or callus-like.  But when the doctor says that there is callus/callous tissue around the border of the wound, i can't figure out which one to use.  Which would be more appropriate?  Thanks in advance!

    Is it callous or callus and plural calluses? Does anyone have a good description? I always thought it was a sore on the foot, but the dictionary has it as a mass of tissue that forms at a fracture sight. There is no mention of a fracture and it is located between toes. Help please!!!!

    I thought I understood when to use which until now.  I have an company telling me that the proper use is "callus formation".  In 5+ years, this has never been an issue and I thought it was a part of "transcription 101" so to speak.  Any clarification would be helpful.

    Subject: periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?

    Could you all please tell me what the proper spelling of the above term is? I was under the impression it should be periosteal callus formation, but I got my report back with the correction that it should be periosteal callous formation?

    I thought callus was hardened bone or skin and callous was when someone was being insensitive?

    Male sounds are shaped differently than female sounds. Obviously, male sounds being longer. They are used to dilate the urethra in order to facilitate the passage of stones or perhaps JJ stents etc. They come in different diameters ie..18FR, 20FR etc. Hope this helps.
