Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 , ORIF is right. It stands for open reduction internal fixation. The fracture has to be surgically repaired.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 If you say " of the lower extremities " really fast, it can sound like there is a starting v sound. That might be it. Rennie www.renesue.com NMTC List Wrangler http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NMTC Word help Doc says: " DVT prophylaxis per sequential compression of v? extremities " . Word starts with a v, at least I think it does... Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
