s/l supra and infraspinatus...
Subject: s/l supra and infraspinatus...

There is mild s/l supra and infraspinatus tendinopathy noted.

Sounds like the Dr. is saying mild supra and infraspinatus tendinopathy. Could it be something else? If not would it be written as supra and infraspinatus? or would I write out supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Sorry if this is clear as mud, long day. TIA.
s/l "en-THEE-sis" of the infraspinatus
Subject: s/l "en-THEE-sis" of the infraspinatus

Trigger point along the "enTHEEsis" of the infraspinatus.


Emphysis?? 


I have looked on the web at sites that describe and show where trigger points are and how to test them, but have yet to come on a word that looks like it could be that.


I am new to this account so forgive me if this is a common term in pain management.


Help?  Thanks!

if your docs are a lot like some of mine, they try to rush through their dictation more and more by using abbreviations that really do not exist, using cut-off words....you are right, he is saying that there is tendinopathy found in both the supraspinatus and infraspinus, I do lots of ortho ops and procedures. Hope I help!

I'm typing neuro exam:  Motor exam:  ...deconditioning and *involutional* atrophy of age.


When I *Googled* involutional atrophy, I got all these hits to member-protected medical websites; go figure... (just a little vent on the word board here).


Anyway, anyone familiar with this term? TIA.


Villous atrophy
Subject: Villous atrophy

I believe the doctor is saying true villous atrophy.  I'm not sure if the true part is right or if there's another word.  The doctor took biopsies of the duodenum and says they did find blunting and inflammation (if additional information is needed).  TIA.

I found the same thing myself. I did use the cephal atrophy, but I may be all wrong, maybe not. It is in the same sentence (a run-on btw), that is talking about possible neuropathy. Really just doesn't make sense to me.
