  Haven't been doing surgery for a while and cannot remember the rule for tract/track.  Couldn't find it in the AAMT BOS either.  Thanks!!
 
 EX:  I probed this area with a Q-tip and found that she, indeed, has a sinus tract/track leading to a cavity below the healed skin.  ty to Tracey and Ghost (sm)
 I guess it's worth a try.  Maybe I'll get lucky too.
 Hey, Ghost, yes, I got these two years ago, they are fantastic,,,,,sm
 They really block out any noise around your house, are comfortable, but best of all they produce crisp, clear, life-like sound for all those mumble-mouth dictators.....won't solve everything, but I have been doing this over 25 years, used Dictaphone, and many many other brands, Bose rocks, not to mention using them for music listening, absolutely awesome and worth the bucks, IMHO!

 It is actually ghost track - area where a screw has once been for fixation of fracture.
