You are absolutely correct smurf and nm. Thanks!

bur (bur)   a rotary instrument used to create openings in teeth, bones, or similar hard material. Also spelled burr (from Dorland's).

No it cannot be either. There are a lot of misspellings out there.

Kiel bone® grafts. This material is calf or ox bone which has been denaturated.

Thanks so much!!  ');>

I do have CTS but ortho MDs say not to operate for another 10 years (til I'm way up there in age).  I find I have thumb pain (for decades) from hitting the space bar too hard with my thumb.  I had cortisone shots into the thumb for years (one shot lasted 10 years in one thumb and the other shots didn't work at all in the other thumb).

Hope you feel better! 

now they don't use is as much as they used to. I had this phrase saved in some of my old links;

The use of local agents: bone wax, gelatin, collagen, oxidized cellulose.- The use of fibrin sealants at spinal surgery.- The use of local agents: Surgicel and Surgifoam.-

The patient had rectus reflap which was in the midportion of the left tibia.

Is this correct and if so can you explain it to me?

ct bow angiogram

pulmonary account

doctor states disease of the tibia giving it a bumpy appearance...s/l Companachi's disease

A lateral portal was created through and through the rotator cuff defect and a _____ bone cutter was used to gently remove the soft tissue...

The docter says "five, five bone cutter". 

How would I transcribe this 

My left hand is hurting in that big, round, fatty area below my thumb.  I've had carpal tunnel symptoms before, and they've gone away when I make ergonomic changes, but lately it's not in the wrist so much but in that fatty part under the thumb.  I can't tell if it's the bone itself that hurts or the tissue that hurts, or both.  It's sore in the scaphoid and lunate bones, but much less so than the trapezium area.  Is this a problem related to carpal tunnel?  If not, then I remember about 6 months ago getting a sliver or something like that stuck in that area and I'm wondering if it could be from that.  There's no redness or an entry wound at all.

I'm getting my bone references from:  http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/hand/awrist.htm

It's not bad enough to run to the doctor, but it sure is annoying as an MT!  I really appreciate your opinions or experiences. 

Doing a decompression, doctor is saying something that sounds like machine bone ___.  I'm not even sure about the machine part.

Reading from bone scan results...

Shows no abnormal s/l trace-ure activity.

Help, please!!

Recently had a bone scan which indicated osteopenia with a hip of minus 1.1. 

Is that the result of the hip (part of body) or does hip stand for something else?  New to this and slightly confused

Op report on Kienbock's disease:

"...was then used to remove all cartilage and hard cortical bone off the three bones until we had good bleeding *to ancellous bones* or *and cellous bones* present." 

thanks!
