Anyone heard of a bone towel in an ortho report?

Subject: Anyone heard of a bone towel in an ortho report?

I can hear it very clearly, but I cannot reference it anywhere.  Doc says "Irrigation was done of the wound as well as a bone towel at this time".


Does this make sense to anyone?  Thanks for any help.

Subject: Yes, vague. What tooth shaped bone in the hand would the dicator be referring to? Any bone could

tooth shaped from injury or what have you.  And like I said 9 times out of 10, odontoid refers to the "toothlike odontoid process in the second cervical vertebra."  That's pretty specific, dontcha think?  I've never heard a doctor refer to an "odontoid" in any other part of the body.

I do have CTS but ortho MDs say not to operate for another 10 years (til I'm way up there in age).  I find I have thumb pain (for decades) from hitting the space bar too hard with my thumb.  I had cortisone shots into the thumb for years (one shot lasted 10 years in one thumb and the other shots didn't work at all in the other thumb).


Hope you feel better!
