This comes in the form of excision of the bony fragment with 1) s/l capsular release and possible 2) s/l anchor repair versus pinning of the right thumb.

periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?
Subject: periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?
Could you all please tell me what the proper spelling of the above term is? I was under the impression it should be periosteal callus formation, but I got my report back with the correction that it should be periosteal callous formation?
I thought callus was hardened bone or skin and callous was when someone was being insensitive?
Thanks!
