There is also a PA view (my understanding is just a different way of standing when taking the x-ray vs an AP view). The way you are typing them is correct.

PT/Rehab uses the term scaption frequently..sm
Subject: PT/Rehab uses the term scaption frequently..sm
scaption means abduction (raising the arm away from the body) in the scapular plane. Not a documented word, but worked for a PT and PM&R physiatrist for years who used this terms. Maybe this dictator is botching this word and saying "scapitation" with the same meaning intended??

Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture
Subject: Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture
My first post and I goofed it! I just posted this on the Main Board when I saw the Word Board that might be more appropriate. Thanks in advance!
I'm working on an ortho eval for a patient with a PIP fracture. Doctor has dictated an unfamiliar term (there's always that ONE WORD) for me. He dictates, "X-ray examination today shows impaction at the base of the middle phalanx with approximately 70% joint surface involvement." Here's the word I don't know (spelled phonetically--Sorry): "A syphiant(??) portion of the joint surface is translated dorsally."
If someone could point me in the right direction for finding this word, I would really appreciate it!

My doc is dictating about a teenage baseball player. He had an AC joint separation and wants to start the season. The doc says the patient can "continue to s/l de gauge, continue to do tossing and as soon as he has no pain, throwing and light tossing of the ball" Sounds like de gauge or dig H (my doc has a spanish accent, not too heavy, though) Any ideas? Thanks.

Subject: No they are three separate views.
No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe this is why the QA department and your manager keep changing your grammar.
