Diagnosis is knee contusion.

Here is the complete sentence:

Using the Bovie electrocautery, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal incision was made along the depth of the mucobuccal fold through the previous Lefort osteotomy incision that was placed during the _____ expansion procedure.

Yep, it's in mine too. I just couldn't wrap my brain around what it was exactly.
Subject: Yep, it's in mine too. I just couldn't wrap my brain around what it was exactly.

But I think it is an anatomic landmark. I just thought if it was, it would be in one of my medical dictionaries or defined somewhere online more definitively!

s/l baseball wrap applied? (can anyone verify this?) TIA
Subject: s/l baseball wrap applied? (can anyone verify this?) TIA

Patient in with a burn has a "Vaseline Adaptic baseball wrap" applied to his hand?

Vaseline dressing I know. Adaptic dressing I know. Baseball wrap/dressing I cannot seem to find or verify anywhere.

Also, I can't find all three of them together anywhere either. (nor just Vaseline and Adaptic together- and since Adaptic looks to also be petroleum jelly like Vaseline I don't quite get it- but I'm willing to buy it.)

I am searching my references as we speak, nothing seems really close in sound, for contusion, usually they use an Ace wrap bandage and gauze (or some other elastic-type bandage), ice, and elevate, and rest.  I will keep looking, though!!
