ortho word

this sounds like he is saying halmetica but I cannot find this word anywhere so far.

here's the sentence:

She went to surgery on February 26, 2009 and underwent open reduction internal fixation of this fracture with a long, what sounds to be a, halmetica gamma type nail and cerclage wiring. 

thanks

Ortho surgeon.  Pt has foot deformity, walking on side of foot.  Surgery to establish a "plantagrade" foot.

Also sounds somewhat like "plenigrade" but I'm guessing it must be from "plantar", since it's the foot...?  Anyway, cannot find--please help!

Has anyone ever typed:  6/5 screw?  How do you space it out?

Thanks!

New at ortho, and doc just dictated:  " ..sudden flare of the left 1st metatarsal phalangeal joint diagnosed as pytagra."  That's what the spelling sounds like to me, but I can't find it anywhere online or in my ref books. Any help is appreciated.  Thanks   Judy H

Total knee arthroplasty report dictates:  Prior to cementing the implants the (s/l Aqua Mantis) was used to dry the posterior capsule.  Later he says:  Additional hemostasis was acheived using the Aqua Mantis.  Any clues??

Heard of Jergen's ball?

The doctor is doing a one-level fusion of the thoracic spine.

"I would do this through minimally invasive (s/l axial lift) approach"

"Examination of the thumb reveals (s/l shoulder) deformity, positive grind test, and crepitus......"

Even a sample sent to me has this same sentence but I've never heard of a shoulder deformity in the thumb......???? 

Distally, the distal interlock screw looks like it may have backed out slightly with his ambulation over the past couple of weeks.  That screw had great s/l perch(s)  at the time of placement as I recall.

Almost makes me think he is trying to say something like it attaches well, that is why I say perch?!  I am not sure.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

X-ray report, post total hip arthroplasty: The lesser trochanter heights are equal compared to the lesser tuberosities.  ??Diversion?? appears to be very accurate on both the femoral and acetabular sites.

Is it diversion or the version ??
