Portal sites
Subject: Portal sites

You heard it right. In Orthopedics, you'll come across the procedure of "arthroscopy" quite a bit. The Ortho surgeon makes small incisions called "portals", through one of which he inserts the scope to look inside the joint, and through the others he inserts other instruments as needed for cutting, shaving, biopsies, etc. Once he completes the procedure, he closes those incisions which become the "portal sites" that he is talking about. He obviously is checking during the followup visit to see if there is any infection at the incision sites.

I do believe this would be something we can correct with intra-articular (s/l) huts or touch or tuts or hutch, but may require some type of extra-articular osteotomy based on the findings of the long-alignment films.

Question about meniscal repairs
Subject: Question about meniscal repairs

We discussed treatment options, which could include primary inside repair versus s/l end out suture technique, which would require direct visualization of the peroneal nerve.

Can't verify "end out suture technique" anywhere. Is this correct, or am I just hearing it wrong? Thx

Interestingly the PET scan revealed minimal FDG uptake in the right thyroid bed consistent with the right anterior tracheal lesion, and also minimal uptake in what is believed to be persistent thymic tissue in the "intra-media-stynum", but nowhere else is it noted.  MRI was reviewed as well.  This confirms a 1.4 cm enlarged lymph node on the right side at the level of C3......
