When you oppose somebody it means
Subject: When you oppose somebody it means

so when a thumb is able to oppose another finger, it is functioning better, taking a better position (stance).

If this is wrong, then I've been typing it incorrectly for 27 years because ortho was my first field......*laughs*

have you looked it up in all those 27 years? It's appose.

(Why, oh why can't they move comments along with the OP? Grrr...)

Anyway, if this is the sentence, "There are three cysts identified within the right kidney, the largest of which is in the upper pole and measures 6.5 cm in diameter," then no comma is used before "which." The prepositional phrase begins with ", the largest of which."

I was taught years ago that you put a comma before "which" if it is referring to the immediate preceding phrase.

In this sentence, it refers to the former phrase: "This is a 51-year-old pleasant gentleman who had a shave biopsy of the left shoulder which revealed a possible Clark's nevus." The "which" refers to the shave biopsy, not the left shoulder.

In this one, it refers to the immediately preceding phrase: "Will continue the sertraline but will increase the amount to 75 mg daily, which would be 50 mg plus 25 mg." The "which" refers to the 75 mg daily, not the sertraline.

Is this still correct? Anyone?

"active" means the patient can move sm
Subject: "active" means the patient can move sm

her shoulder by herself. "Passive" means when the doctor is moving the extremity. So, "actively" here is correct as far as the patient moving the extremity by herself in flexion and elevation as the other helper indicated.
