Subject: extensor hallucis is ...

 Dictated:  Tibialis anterior on the left is 4+/5. Extensor hallucis is 5/5. If she did not dictate "left" - then it would be "are" 4+5, correct?


extensor hallucis......sm
Subject: extensor hallucis......sm

Per my experience, and this is only mine, when a doc starts dictating, "tibialis anterior on the left is 4+/5, extensor hallucis is 5/5", that doc is dictating about one side. If he/she changes sides, i.e., left to right, he/she may possibly say....."tibialis tendon on the left is 4+/5 and 5/5" (meaning on the right). But, they do not usually change sides AND tendons like that. Per your account, it sounds like the doc is speaking about the same side as she is not comparing; she's just talking about two different tendons.

If she is referring to both great toes, she will usually pronounce in the proper manner, which you would spell halluces.

And, no, "are" would be completely wrong in this case as she is dictating that ONE tendon is 4+/5 and ANOTHER tendon is 5/5.

You do understand the anatomy, right?
Extensor ???? proprius?

The doc is dictating excision of a ganglion in the dorsum of the left wrist.  "Thickened synovium was excised from the interval between the common extensors and s/l "extensor ingeus proprius."  Any help?  I cannot find that in any lists of extensors anywhere.   Thanks in advance!

    trigger finger ?
    Subject: trigger finger ?

    Trigger finger and trigger thumb are conditions affecting the movement of the tendons as they bend the fingers or thumb toward the palm of the hand. This movement is called flexion.

    Trigger finger
    Subject: Trigger finger

    The dictation is referring to the "condition trigger finger". That condition is affecting the patient's right ring finger, meaning that that finger most like catches or locks down upon certain movement.

    This is driving me crazy.  He has said it 4 times. 
    "under the eppidiceum"  so maybe he is referring to the skin of the finger?  The laceration is near the nail bed.  I can't find it, have been looking and looking.
