Subject: Otherus cortex? sm
This is an op report on an ORIF of a radial head fracture:
The C-arm was brought in and intraoperative interpretation was done to determine the reduction, the position of the k-wires, and to make sure the k-wires did not go past the s/l otherus cortex. 
thanks

Thanks - really sounds like otherus though, can't hear any P's in there sm

and thanks for the k-wire tip! Still trying to catch on to this surgery thing.

P.S. FYI K-wire should be capitalized (stands for Kirschner)
corticate means having a cortex or bark.

At the orthopedists I worked for, they said corticated frequently. I have it written in my list as corticated.

The FDG-PET scan is classic textbook for frontotemporal dementia and confirms this clinical diagnosis with a high degree of diagnostic certainty. The patient has severe bilaterally symmetric frontal hypometabolism. This includes both lateral and mesial portions of the cortex with prominent anterior *singulet* hypometabolism. There are lesser degrees of anterior temporal hypometabolism but by far frontal lobes are more affected. There is also slight decrease in left parietal cortex with relative sparing of primary motor sensory cortex.
