Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture
Subject: Need help with ortho term for PIP fracture
My first post and I goofed it! I just posted this on the Main Board when I saw the Word Board that might be more appropriate. Thanks in advance!
I'm working on an ortho eval for a patient with a PIP fracture. Doctor has dictated an unfamiliar term (there's always that ONE WORD) for me. He dictates, "X-ray examination today shows impaction at the base of the middle phalanx with approximately 70% joint surface involvement." Here's the word I don't know (spelled phonetically--Sorry): "A syphiant(??) portion of the joint surface is translated dorsally."
If someone could point me in the right direction for finding this word, I would really appreciate it!

My doc is dictating about a teenage baseball player. He had an AC joint separation and wants to start the season. The doc says the patient can "continue to s/l de gauge, continue to do tossing and as soon as he has no pain, throwing and light tossing of the ball" Sounds like de gauge or dig H (my doc has a spanish accent, not too heavy, though) Any ideas? Thanks.

Can anyone help me, please? Ortho doctor keeps dictating in his total knee replacements that hemostasis is secured with "aquamantra and pressure." I have searched everywhere. It sounds like aquamantra or aquamancha. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! PaulaT

There is also a PA view (my understanding is just a different way of standing when taking the x-ray vs an AP view). The way you are typing them is correct.

I hope I don't end up looking like a fool for posting this, but....
I have done more of this docs files that ANYONE elses... and I have never heard her say this before... "one q. day to p.a.p." she says it twice on two different meds. She is always VERY easy to understand. It's definitely not b.i.d. or t.i.d. Does p.a.p. or t.a.p. exist? I have googled all over the place and even had another MT listen to the file. (please don't rake me over the coals... I'm a newbie - haha)
Help? Please? Thank you.

Help with term used in OB/GYN report
Subject: Help with term used in OB/GYN report
This is from a laparoscopically assisted total vaginal hysterectomy with right salpingo-oophorectomy:
The procedure was commenced on the patient’s left side, where the tripolar forceps were used to cauterize and cut the tube proximally. The uteroovarian ligament was then clamped with the tripolar and then cut once it had been completely desiccated. The broad ligament was then taken serially in the same manner. The round ligament was taken down. Ocupuration was used to create a bladder flap, which was then taken across the midline with Metzenbaum laparoscopic scissors.
I've checked my Stedman's OB/GYN, but I do not find my answer there and can't seem to find it googling either. Anyone have any ideas?
