Subject: Ortho Spine Ranges

Can't remember how to type a spinal range!  If the patient has a surgery on the spine from C1 through C3, do you type C1-C3, or do you need to type out the "through?"  Thanks in advance!

it's also used as a general reference to the "neck" portion of a structure.  So where you would probably say cysts in the neck of the pancreas, he's saying cervical (meaning here neck of the pancreas) cysts.
