It is just the "old way" of spelling it, just like orthopaedics and orthopedics.

One such example is the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.  To an orthopod, this is the correct of spelling it and not "orthopedics" but both are accepted as correct by the general populace.  There are places that still use Paediatrics as opposed to Pediatrics, but they are still both right.  Just spell it like your QA wants.  Every account is different and every client has their own likes and dislikes.

I am not sure if this looks right but this the sentence that sounds like it is being said.  I am wondering if "pub" is short for pubic??  Thanks for the ortho help, as I am at a loss in this area.

Osteopathic manipulative treatments were performed using muscle energy, Jones strain/counter strain, 7 stages of Spencer, leg tug technique, and a pub technique.     

Thanks for your time.

I would appreciate if someone can help with this....There is no deltoid or ____ atrophy.

I think he is sayign something that sounds like spiniatrophy...I really cannot make it out but he has said it in more than 3 reports. I was wondering if it was spinatus but there is no S, also it could be two words???

Thank you.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:

She notes occasional crepitus.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:

Examination reveals nontender ___.  Range of motions are nearly complete and painfree. 

That is exactly what he said... nothing else. there is no subheading.

Dr. Says:  The right knee has some minimal diffuse swelling, but no point tenderness or erythema.  No pain with movement of the patella, medially or laterally.  No increased (s/l play) with varus or valgus stress.  Negative drawer and Lachman test.   

ASSESSMENT

Left arm strain and right knee contusion, due to a fall

Could play be the correct word? 

Doc is saying "posterolateral interbody fusion with s/l REMP grafts and gutter fusion" 

REMP?

Sounds like "Dirock" procedure for index finger dislocation.

Thanks

I'm working on a transcription for Orthopedics, and I'm not sure what the doc is saying before "cervical lodosis".  It sounds like "attended", but maybe someone could give me a second opinion?  Here's the sentence:

There is a "Scotty dog sign" and an "Earle sign."

Scotty dog sign refers to a view of the lumbar spine in which an outline of a dog can be seen.

Earle sign refers to a bony prominence or large hematoma on rectal exam.

Maybe these are what you are looking for.

Status post previous C5-L4 [s/l instrument effusion] in 1991.

Here is the sentence - the word is the same in both blanks:

"__________-1 with the knee extended at the ankles is about 45-50 degrees of equinus, and __________-2 with the knee extended on both ankles is still over 20 degrees of equinus."

The word sounds like "Ferrar-1", or possibly "Perar-1".   Anyone know what this is?  I've looked everywhere! 

re:  flat feet

He is unable to toe walk on the left especially, with reconstitution of his arch s/l tight foot angles are normal.  TIA!

"He was found to have a complete rupture.  He was s/l *diastased* about 1.5 cm or so and he had some early scar tissue forming.  Debrided all of this down until we got to decent looking, healthy Achilles tissue."

TIA
