Brachial plexus, not brachioplexus sm
Subject: Brachial plexus, not brachioplexus sm
"It's another one of those undocumentable words that are becoming commonly used."
The only reason these words make it into the medical language is because some people don't know how to research to find the correct word. It is called the proliferation of a mistake and when gone unchecked (because of ignorance) words like these become "sanctioned."
Other proliferated mistakes that I have seen include neuroforamina and ostiomeatal to name just two more but there are many I cannot think of at the moment.
A good medical dictionary and reliable resources will help to stop this trend.

Prosthetic hip reduction. The term s/l "joo-DAY" views - ??? Thank you for any help.
Following reduction of the hip, single AP fluoroscopy view revealed that the femoral head sat eccentrically in the acetabulum, and this could simply be consistent with poly wear given the large number of dislocations she has sustained. Therefore, _____ (s/l joo-DAY) views, both internal and external oblique views of the right hip were obtained, which confirmed indeed the femoral head was seated in the cup and not anterior or posterior to the cup.

It is just the "old way" of spelling it, just like orthopaedics and orthopedics.
Subject: It is just the "old way" of spelling it, just like orthopaedics and orthopedics.
One such example is the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. To an orthopod, this is the correct of spelling it and not "orthopedics" but both are accepted as correct by the general populace. There are places that still use Paediatrics as opposed to Pediatrics, but they are still both right. Just spell it like your QA wants. Every account is different and every client has their own likes and dislikes.

they have the pleural of index as indexes or indices, so either would be right then. So index, indexes or indices are all correct choices depending on how it is said, obviously.
