Sentence is..." Grip strength was 50-55 pounds on the left and 35-40 pounds on the right..."-----" strength was 11-12 pounds bilaterally."

It starts with a T and is a very short word, may be like Tip but really not sure. That would be a total guess. Thanks for any suggestions!!

(This is the doc who uses microcassettes, while listening to a ball game on the radio and apparently dictating on a bus or something nice and quiet like that!)

S/L acorn drill bit??  Any ideas?

Hip flexors, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, then..

S/L "Pradus obturate" kinda, but kindy slurred. I am totally stumped. 

Thanks for any info!

"Proximal thigh was padded with *** and tourniquet applied."  Can't make anything out.  TIA!!!

There was a larger grade 3 lesion on the inferior portion of the patella as it seated or seeded? in the trochlear groove at about 45 degrees of flexion. I am thinking seated because it is sitting in the groove? Would this be correct or am I totally wrong here.

He is now 4 days out from his left arthroscopic partial medial meniscectomy, where had probably had a bucket handle tear and debridement of loose cartilage in the trochlea, where he had a 2 cm x 1 cm lesion in the midportion with good _______ s/l shoulders, and an area where he had undoubtedly impacted the bucket handle tear tear anteriorly and had a few loose flaps of cartilage that we debrided.

I'm too tired of typing to try to think of what this word really should be.  any suggestions?

Trying to figure out how to type this ---- ortho surgery with Synthes LCP plate.  Says "number two five" Mersilene tape..... Would that be #25?  That doesn't seem right to me and I saw that another MT typed it as "two #5" Mersilene tape.  Not sure if dictator said it wrong in my report-- appreciate any input.

Lysis of adhesions and capsular release of the posterior, superior and post s/l *transferior* were performed under direct vision.

This is arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Doc is talking about foot/ankle here.....s/l Kronotz bone graft and Jovoval sutures.  ??? 

Any help appreciated much!!

My question is he is just saying 45 hole, not saying 4.5 hole so do I assume he means 4.5?  I get so confused by this.  This is the sentence leading up to my question. 

A 4.5-mm syndesmotic screw was now inserted using standard AO technique.  I placed the screw in lag mode.  A 4.5-mm drill bit used on the fibula.  A guide was placed in the 45 or 4.5?? hole.

Doing an op note. It is an intramedullary nailing and he says what s/l Charpol is used to gain access into intramedullary canal. Any ideas on what this could be?

Thanks so much!!

Here's the sentence: 

 "The tendon was sewn over a button on the heel using a s/l 'teeth' needle."  (Or Teef needle?)  

It sounds clear, but I can't find anything close on Google or in Stedman's.  Any ideas what this needle might be? 

There was an unstable bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus s/l white on white or white and white or white/white tear? Thanks
