Ken word help, please A small avulsion from the s/l " coronoid " process of the olecranon. Is it coronoid or coronary? I can't quite tell what he is saying.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Becky, According to Manual of Orthopedic Terminology a Salter- type II fracture involves a fracture line through the physis (growth plate on a child) and into the metaphysis. Maybe that s/l is physis. Someone on this board turned me on to this ortho book. It is a gold mine of info. Ken word help, please Doc is dictating the following: X-rays are reviewed and show a s/l " Salter 2 fracture " of the distal radial " pivosis " with minimal displacement. Anyone have any suggestions. thanks, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 " pivosis " really looks like a's suggestion of epiphysis and maybe they meant that, but that makes the classification wrong, if my reference is right. A Salter- III fracture involves the physis and the epiphysis. I wounder if doc really meant type III. You'd have to figure out whether you can squeak physis out of pivosis rather than the closer epiphysis.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 a, I have the sixth edition also. I was checking Salter- on page 27, I think. The metaphysis, physis, and epiphysis are three separate things and, yes, the epiphyseal plate or cartilage is another word for the physis - actually, I think it is used more often. The epiphysis is the area of bone distal to the plate. The S-H classification seems to be based on which way the fracture line goes, through the physis and into the metaphysis or through the physis and through the epiphysis. Is that making any sense? I am going to go back and check that again. Ken Re: word help, please Hi Ken, Stedman has for physis definition: A term sometimes used in referring to the epiphysial cartilage. So, I wonder if epiphysis is OK here... What edition of A Manual of Orthopaedic Terminology do you have? I have the 6th edition. Just wondering if it has been upgraded since then. It is a great reference! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 (I am going to post this anyway - - - -I am not sure if I am going to offend anyone here.) Yes, Rennie, I have caught myself several times referring to pleuralizing words, just in time before I posted it. It's pretty funny. It is a bit of an odd thing getting involved with this profession after spending quite a bit of time as a 'provider'. At first I was puzzled why MTs didn't have malpractice insurance, but I see that the ultimate responsibility is back with whoever did the dictating, and those chart notes are supposed to be checked, right?? Are they really? I'm not talking about QA. From a clinical perspective a person is always focused on what a thing 'is', with not so much attention to the exact word form or spelling. Textbooks, dictionaries, and atlases are big and something like a Stedman's would be akin to malpractice. But with transcription, I see knowing what a thing 'is' is one of the tools to get at the right word, which is the main point here after all. I see that another big tool is having seen, time and time again, a particular use of the word in a certain situation, and therefore knowing that it is the right word. The exact definition is sometimes not necessary. Another odd thing is trying to make a decision about what word to insert when there is just a small piece of the patient's history or current situation presented on the screen. Clinically, someone would be reluctant to make any kind of judgement about someone else's patient without having the entire history of the case to review, and even then it is a 'qualified' judgement because of not actually having seen the patient personally. But obviously this task has to be done, report after report, hour after hour, day after day, every time the dictation isn't clear. It is unavoidable. It's actually pretty amazing, this work. I still don't quite see yet how a person can assimilate the entire body of knowledge of words that is necessary for transcribing for a variety of disciplines at the same time - like in a hospital. I suspect the key word here is 'experience'. Ken Re: word help, please We MTs make funny typos. Like that something was humerus (funny haha) and we start to pleuralize words really strangely.
