I am doing orthopaedic surgery work.  I am not used to this specialty.  Dictator keeps saying s/l ILL-ee-oh-SO-lus muscle.  I cannot verify this.  The closest I can find is the soleus muscle.  Can anyone help me verify this?
ORTHOPAEDIC HELP??!!
Subject: ORTHOPAEDIC HELP??!!

The patient has tenderness throughout the Achilles tendon from the musculotendinous junction to its insertion site.  He does not have any pain over the ____ (SOUNDS LIKE 'OWLSCOWLISIS' OR 'ASCOWLISIS').  There is not any restriction in dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, or eversion.


I have looked everywhere online - articles and pictures with diagrams - the only thing I've found that comes close is hallucis ... but what is he saying before it?  It doesn't sound like abductor, flexor, or extensor.


Any suggestions???


Thanks!  Jenni

Diagnosis is knee contusion. 


Full sentence:  She was placed in a s/l Shawn's wrap. 


This is a clear speaking dictator and QA hasn't sent me any feedback either.  Any ideas?  I am really stumped with this one and there is not a lot of info to go on.

Here is the complete sentence:

Using the Bovie electrocautery, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal incision was made along the depth of the mucobuccal fold through the previous Lefort osteotomy incision that was placed during the _____ expansion procedure.

Yep, it's in mine too. I just couldn't wrap my brain around what it was exactly.
Subject: Yep, it's in mine too. I just couldn't wrap my brain around what it was exactly.

But I think it is an anatomic landmark. I just thought if it was, it would be in one of my medical dictionaries or defined somewhere online more definitively!

s/l baseball wrap applied? (can anyone verify this?) TIA
Subject: s/l baseball wrap applied? (can anyone verify this?) TIA

Patient in with a burn has a "Vaseline Adaptic baseball wrap" applied to his hand?

Vaseline dressing I know. Adaptic dressing I know. Baseball wrap/dressing I cannot seem to find or verify anywhere.

Also, I can't find all three of them together anywhere either. (nor just Vaseline and Adaptic together- and since Adaptic looks to also be petroleum jelly like Vaseline I don't quite get it- but I'm willing to buy it.)

I am searching my references as we speak, nothing seems really close in sound, for contusion, usually they use an Ace wrap bandage and gauze (or some other elastic-type bandage), ice, and elevate, and rest.  I will keep looking, though!!
