All of my references (Stedman's, Dorlands, Medical Phrase Index, etc.) show a lower case " d. " Which brings up a great point (if even at my embarrassment <G>). When I find " answers " on Google, I always (well, obviously not always) verify spellings with trusted references, as very often the sites have been proven to have incorrect spellings, including incorrect capitalization. In this case, I was too hasty and did not follow through with the entire procedure! Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 I found Finkelstein sign but could not find anything that even resembles decorvase? Any help apprciated...with steps on how I should have searched further for it. Thank you. Aliceanne: Pt has no pain or swelling about the wrist. She has full range of motion of the wrist without pain. She has tenderness over her 1st dorsal compartment of her wrist with a positive Finkelstein test. There is no pain over the distal radial ulnar joint or over the TFCC. X-ray of the left wrist reviews as negative for any acute injury although there may be a small old evulsion fracture of the ulnar styloid. ASSESSMENT: Decorvase tenosynovitis 727.04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
