Subject: lysis or lytic and plus
do you hear the "s" sound or a "ic" sound on the first one?
lysis (ly·sis) (li´sis) [Gr. “dissolution; a loosing, setting free, releasing”] 1. destruction, as of cells by a specific lysin. 2. decomposition, as of a chemical compound by a specific agent. Cf. degradation. 3. mobilization of an organ by division of restraining adhesions. 4. gradual abatement of the symptoms of a disease; cf. crisis (def. 1).
Pulses are measured 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+ (or minus)

It seems your patient either had a replacement or fracture earlier (is there arthritis in the hx?) I often hear lytic lesions or lytic lines in the areas you mention on patients with arthritis/oseoarthritis. Lysis is the process of destruction of something (in this case, bone), which seems to have been ruled out by these x-rays.
Could hear lytic when I listened again. Thanks you all!!!
