Not sure what this is, is it short for another word?

the patient’s x-rays today shows that he has a total hip replacement in place; the lino looks fine with no eccentric wear.

Also . . .

I do not see any gross radiolucency; there is may be some small s/l 'lucenary' (is this right?) at the distal aspect of the tip of the stem.

Thanks for your help

>>

where ======= sounds like 'potendency' or 'protendency', something like that....

Any help would be really appreciated.

TIA,
Shoshana

But, there is a such thing as x-rays taken in the frontal plane, for example.  So, I guess it depends on how it is used in a sentence.

Subject: Plain lumbar spine films. See inside.

Little rule I learned a long time ago:

1.  Plain as in "plain Jane", no make up, not dressed up and no where to go.  So plain x-rays are those who are not augmented by any special dye or anything else such an arthrogram or MRI.

2.  Plane as in a space between.  A plane for dissection - a place or space to cut into.
