Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Hmmmm...crepitans isn't in my Stedman's dictionary or in Taber's. However, crepitance is not a word per materials in my course.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 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 >>> " Rennie " 06/01/01 12:31PM >>> UH OH. I have a flashcard from Career Step for crepitus and in the explanation it says. " NO SUCH WORD as crepitance.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 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 " .
