PLAN:  We discussed that given the findings on his MRI and given the response to the injection, it is reasonable to proceed with a left hip arthroscopy and labral débridement.  At that time, we will look for any head-neck junction irregularity or (s/L-pencil-) lesion.  He understands the risks and benefits of surgery and wishes to proceed. 


 


THANKS!!

MRI demonstrates some degeneration of the medial meniscus.  I do not see a distinct split.  There is some wear on the surface medially.  There is some (s/l-concongral-) change deep, a little cystic change is noted on the inner side of the knee with a little spur at the corner, which could be giving him some of his problem.

Get yourself a good medical dictionary and look up Chlamydia/chlamydia

The word "chlamydia" is the genus and is only capitalized if it is followed by the name of the family.  This per Dorland's Medical Dictionary.  If the word "chlamydia" is not followed by the family name, the word is not capitalized.

I do not mind helping people with their questions, but would appreciate if you could give a little more context when asking.  Perhaps a sentence or two containing the s/l or word in question or some sort of reference to what type report, body area, etc., would be welcome.  It would greatly help me to help you.

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question.  You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help.  You need to give some example of what you are looking for.  People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you.  Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer.
