Patient status post greenstick fracture. There is no associated erythema, mass lump, or significant pain. There is a mild tenderness on palpation, but I am s/l underwhelmed at this point.
Is this even a word?

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.

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.

I know we need to defer to the BOS, which is MQ's basic style, so I put 3. Funny how it really didn't occur to me until today, seeing it as "3" in ASR.

and google is NOT the authority on when to use which word. You can find errors all over the internet and I don't consider google a research tool unless it takes me to a manufacturer web site so I can find a copyrighted spelling.
A good dictionary and solid reference materials are needed. Additionally, the OP did not say the client wanted it one way or another so your bringing that into the equation makes you look as though you are trying to justify what you do, and I really do not care what you do. You are only trying to deflect the direction of the discussion to one in which you _win_ and you try to make me _lose_. The people here who lose are the ones who still don't know the CORRECT usage of the 2 words.
I stand my ground. The OP still does not know definitively how to use these 2 words based on this thread. And you can huff and puff and try to blow my house down but you still don't _win_.
