Help! Tendant or tendon? sm
Subject: Help! Tendant or tendon? sm

Here are a couple of sentences (from op report on basal joint arthritis) where it really s/l he is saying "tendent" rather than tendon.  ???  Anyone have ideas for me?  The whole sentence really doesn't make much sense to me. 


Using the tendent passer it was placed into the distal incision on top of the FCR tendent and then was used to grab the proximal aspect of the tendent and half of the FCR was then harvested this way.


All through this section of the report he is saying "tendent" and normally when he says 'tendon' it does sound like tendon.
