Subject: Since when is tendon spelled tendin? sm
Is it just me that this bugs? I'm probably being too uptight about this but over the past several years, I've seen the word tendonitis being changed to tendinitis. Take off the "itis" and you've got "tendin". Makes no sense to me.
Does anyone know if there is an acceptable/standard way of spelling this? At least where I worked back in the 90s, the preferred spelling was tendonitis. It's an inflammation of the tendon.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Help! Tendant or tendon? sm
Subject: Help! Tendant or tendon? sm
Here are a couple of sentences (from op report on basal joint arthritis) where it really s/l he is saying "tendent" rather than tendon. ??? Anyone have ideas for me? The whole sentence really doesn't make much sense to me.
Using the tendent passer it was placed into the distal incision on top of the FCR tendent and then was used to grab the proximal aspect of the tendent and half of the FCR was then harvested this way.
All through this section of the report he is saying "tendent" and normally when he says 'tendon' it does sound like tendon.

?austregonim? at the posterior tibial tendon insertion.
Subject: ?austregonim? at the posterior tibial tendon insertion.
The ????? at the posterior tibial insertion certainly alters the pull of the posterior tibial tendon causing the functional pes planus deformity in his foot. He is unable to adequately lift his medial longitudinal arch throughout midstance, leading to this pain at the posterior tibial insertion, weakness at the posterior tibial insertion, as well as plantar fasciitis.
It is noted on X-ray.
