Subject: Talus formation in hand surgery?
As far as I can find talus is only referred to in the foot/ankle, but this doctor is doing a cyst excision on the middle finger and says "The talus formation to the dorsal soft tissue was also s/l lipsed out." Can someone help with the talus formation part and also "lipsed out"? THanks

Oh, and you need to check the anatomy of the hand. Do a google search for "bones of the hand"
Subject: Oh, and you need to check the anatomy of the hand. Do a google search for "bones of the hand".
Try this site, you can click on the bones of the hand and it will tell you what the bone is called.
http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/hand/anhand.htm
The trapezoid bone is a bone in the distal row of the carpus; it articulates with the second metacarpal.
The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.
Please know what you are talking about before you try to be condescending.
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!
