Becky, It is coronoid process. It is the distal lip or margine of the olecranon.

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.

Thanks,

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,

" 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.

I can't believe I spelled wonder as wounder. I need to look at these things

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!

We MTs make funny typos. Like that something was humerus (funny haha) and we

start to pleuralize words really strangely. LOL It's what too much time spent

with the medical language will do to us!!

Don't worry about misspellings in email (except on answers to questions!).

We all know that we save the scrutiny for our work and can type an email

message without QA looking over our shoulder :^).

(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'.
