Such controversy :-) In The Medical & Health Sciences Word Book the

following are noted: crepitance, crepitant, crepitate, crepitated,

crepitating, crepitation, crepitus. I did orthopedic transcription for years

and the doctors always dictated " crepitance in the knees. " That is the way I

was instructed to type it. Jean

Hmmmm...crepitans isn't in my Stedman's dictionary or in Taber's. However,

crepitance is not a word per materials in my course. Crepitus IS a word

though.

Rennie, I'm from the " old school " , when the doctor dictated crepitance, I was

taught there was no such word and that it should be crepitus, so that's what I

do. Crepitance may be in the Neuro book, but it is crepitus in the Ortho book,

and to me this is more of an ortho word than a neuro word, so that's the book I

go by. I know that the docs have used crepitance so much that it is becoming

accepted, but I still like to use the correct word, crepitus. Just my opinion,

Margaret

I agree with Margaret. When they say crepitance I use crepitants or

crepitus, depending. I was also taught that it's one of those words that's

becoming " accepted " . Deb
