Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Here is my shot at it. " decrease growth to compensate for left lower extremity partial ostectomy (ostectomied?) leg. " It is common to surgically alter the growth plates in a " good " leg to prevent it from outgrowing a damaged leg that has stopped growing for whatever reason, to prevent leg length discrepancy. The grammer there is reaching I know but this may help you look in the right direction.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 The doctor dictates the following: Elbow range of motion is full and unrestricted. The ulnar nerves are SUBLUXATABLE bilaterally and unstable in the groove. Tinel's sign is markedly positive over each ulnar nerve, left greater than right. I cannot document a word such as subluxatable. Is there another way of spelling this or saying this? Thanks for any help Delinda in Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 sublaxation... " a partial dislocation " (Med Dictionary) the term " sublaxation " has been a hot topic in chiropractic because it was used in a multitude of ways by chiropractors. Two years ago the ACC issued the following definition: " A subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system and general health " perhaps he is indicating that the area could be sublaxated... thus sublaxatable? or could he be saying the nerves are sublaxated?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Jan, You are completely right! I meant subluxation. That's what you get for doing three things at the same time. :-) M Re: Ortho help > In a message dated 03-02-01 12:57:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, > jmpeattie@... writes: > > << sublaxation...
