Characters would be less for 1-9 as opposed to one through nine. It also depends on client preference. It is hard to train your fingers to do one or the other. I am old-school and have always done one through nine, 10, 11, 12, and so on. I have to retrain my fingers. I also have an account that requires I type the 1st the time the patient came in, and the other requirest the first time the patient came in.

I have been asked to spell it discectomy. If you have a sample report that spells it diskectomy, then you probably should spell it that way.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

L5 compression fracture; C5-6 herniated nucleus puposus. I have never used fifth lumbar or lumbar five. Most docs I have had always dictate as L5 or C5-6 and also some do C-spine or L-spine. easier for them, I guess, as well as whoever reads the report.
