  • hip fracture 4-hole plate fixation

    When placed (guidepin) the initial placement looked slightly too far posterior, therefore it was withdrawn out to the fracture line and anterior pressure from the heel of the hand was pressed downward on the fracture area to more surely neutralize the pull of the s/l cellus and the pin was then advanced and was at this point more centralized in the head and neck fragment and better .......   (Can't find anything that the cellus would be) any ideas?  TIA

    Help with external fixator slang
    Subject: Help with external fixator slang

    On this account slang words are typed as dictated.  For external fixator he dictates ex-fix.  Is 'ex-fix' correct or should it be x-fix?  It has been suggested that it might XFIX, a brand name, but I have not been able to find anything to confirm it.


    Thanks!
