Subject: orthopedics

I'm working on a transcription for Orthopedics, and I'm not sure what the doc is saying before "cervical lodosis".  It sounds like "attended", but maybe someone could give me a second opinion?  Here's the sentence:


She had a 6 month history of progressive disabling back pain visibly associated with progressive kyphotic deformity of the thoracolumbar spine, with an attended cervical lordosis.

Subject: New to orthopedics?

I am not sure if this looks right but this the sentence that sounds like it is being said.  I am wondering if "pub" is short for pubic??  Thanks for the ortho help, as I am at a loss in this area.


Osteopathic manipulative treatments were performed using muscle energy, Jones strain/counter strain, 7 stages of Spencer, leg tug technique, and a pub technique.     


Thanks for your time.

Hi, I am new at ortho and have a couple of questions.

Physical Exam: There is an abrasion over the left anterior tibia. Left foot has normal dorsalis pedis and tibialis posterior pulses. The sensation is intact. *Capillary refill is less than 2 seconds.* Am I hearing this correctly?

Then he says: X-rays of the left femur and left *tib fib* are negative. Is it OK to say tib fib?

Thanks.

Subject: imho... Hohmann for orthopedics sm

Homan=most commonly a "sign" (calf pain with foot dorsiflexion. Hohmann=orthopedic retractor. Also Holman=lung retractor. I think Google is confusing because Homan is used incorrectly when Hohmann is correct spelling for ortho procedures; I don't think you'll find "Homan retractor" in any surgical instruments catalog, but there are LOTS of catalogs selling Hohmann retractors. My Stedman's only lists Hohmann (but I have an old 2nd ed.)...jmho

It is just the "old way" of spelling it, just like orthopaedics and orthopedics.
Subject: It is just the "old way" of spelling it, just like orthopaedics and orthopedics.

One such example is the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.  To an orthopod, this is the correct of spelling it and not "orthopedics" but both are accepted as correct by the general populace.  There are places that still use Paediatrics as opposed to Pediatrics, but they are still both right.  Just spell it like your QA wants.  Every account is different and every client has their own likes and dislikes.
