Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 C5/C6 ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION - ILIAC CREST BONE GRAFT AND ANTERIOR PLATE (BLACKSTONE) British/Australian spelling used Discwise. A horizontal skin crease incision was made on the right side of the neck and dissection continued through the underlying *____ (s/l perfusma profusma plathusma ) to expose the C5/C6 disc space. This was identified using the image intensifier. Hate to leave this one blank, it's the only blank in my first discectomy. Anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Could it be platysma? It is a platelike muscle that originates from the fascia of the cervical region and inserts in the mandible and the skin around the mouth. It is innervated by the cervical branch of the facial nerve, and acts to wrinkle the skin of the neck and to deptrss the jaw. From Dorland's.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Thanks. I wonder if you are still working away. Anyway, I was happy with most of the dictations I got this evening, but there are some mysteries I haven't been able to solve. On a MAYO-KOONRAD TOTAL ELBOW REPLACEMENT (Koonrad? s/l but can't find) he says An extra small 4-inch *-- s/l pumal component was utilised. An extra small narrow stemmed ulnar component was utilised and a tip was cut off to allow it to fit properly. The medulla of the humerus was altrated with a Sulzerish plug. The s/ls are pumal, altrated and Sulzerish/Sultzerisch. s/l Excisions thoracics dechapsis - this is the operation, supposedly. I have played with thoracix and abscess and all sorts. Can't get it. The text is no help, just says The posterior thoracic region was prepared, draped and infiltrated with local anaesthetic. Methylene blue was infiltrated into this region to follow the associated sinus. This was excised progressively after a vertical skin incision through the previous incision. The area was recurrently washed with Ringer's and hydrogen peroxide solutions. Routine wound closure was performed after excising the skin edges using 3.0 Vicryl and 3.0 Prolene. In an arthroscopy on shoulder, repair of subscapularis tear, he says what sounds like There was some chondral damage in the central posterior of the humeral head which appeared more likely due to a chondral Hill-Sachs rather than arthritic damage. There was also some moderate *___ chondral damage (s/l morta quake one quandral damage) over the interior aspects of the glenoid. This was debrided. Although there were good muscle fibres present there was very little tendon attached to them. The best quality tissues which could be found were sutured to the rotator in the *-- s/l fall or the rotator winnerfall-- and then to--- s/l a frission or fissure--- groove in the lesser tuberosity with transosseous PDS sutures. The repair was only moderately satisfactory because of the quality of the tissues. If it's obvious to anyone out there, I'd love to hear. These docs will be in Pending overnight (way past my bedtime here in Oz) Re: Word Help Diskectomy > > > Could it be platysma?

This was debrided. Could you be hearing quadrangular cartilage here? If you have a Stedman's Orthopedic book (or CD) you should be able to find the implants. I looked in mine and found references to Mayo Clinic congruent elbow plate, etc. Your " pumal " component could be humeral component, dechapsis could be scapular, but I'm only making guesses here. Hope this helps a little to point you in the right direction. Jan jantranscribes@... " Typing is my life. " " Whoever signs the paycheck makes the rules.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 http://www.jbjs.org/Comments/oct01_1506.pdf The closest thing I found was on this link that had information about a type-3 " Kudo " total elbow prosthesis, and it states that it was used for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The Mayo part seemed to bring up the Mayo Clinic. Here's the site I Googled in case it may help. http://www google com/search?hl=en & lr= & ie=ISO-8859-1 & q=%22total+elbow+replacement%22+mayo+kudo Best of luck!

Putting Coonrad Mayo " total elbow " into Google again, one finds that there are a number of listings for both a Coonrad-Mayo elbow and a Coonrad-Morrey elbow (which, apparently, may have been modified by Mayo for their procedure; hard to tell, and no time to track that lead down). http://tinyurl.com/dnkl So, if you're clearly hearing Mayo, it looks like Coonrad-Mayo may be it, but I would suggest you visit the links above and explore the hits on your own, Rowena.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Thanks again, Chuck. Another lesson in choosing one's words with care, in this case for Google. I am entirely confident of Coonrad. Thanks also Debi. I too was awash in Mayo Clinic entries, having thought I was so clever in at least entering the Mayo bit. I'll go through my pending file again in the morning and enter that with pride and gratitude. It will be so nice to send in my op reports with confidence.
