My ortho doc is saying the patient has pain over the posterior aspect of his hip along the *track* of the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve. Should it be "track" or "tract"? I don't think I'll EVER know this.. Thanks..

Review of x-rays, three views, of the knee shows a previous tibial tubercle transfer. It looks like it is a rotational type fixated with a single partially threaded "s/l ken-sell-a" screw that is cannulated.

During the course of an aortogram, AAA repair and bifurcation graft, he exchanged 0.025 glide wires with 0.035 s/l "Mire" wires, removed the sheath and inserted the bifurcation graft. Mylar maybe (?) but was not able to verify. After deploying the graft, he passed a s/l "AquaTempo" 5-French catheter. I may have a few more of these gems before the report is finished. He is naming every single brand of all the obscure pieces of equipment he can lay his hands on.
