This is being dictated in the neuro portion of the exam.  He says this in several notes and sounds the same each time.  I have searched and searched.  Ahhhhhh!

Ortho doc is dictating cervical spondylysis
Subject: Ortho doc is dictating cervical spondylysis

I've typed ortho for eight years and I know I haven't heard it all, so have any of you ever heard of spondylysis? He's very clear and is not saying spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, or spondylolysis. Thanks for your help :)
Need help with ortho - Doc has a slight British accent.
Subject: Need help with ortho - Doc has a slight British accent.

The patient returns today three years after her anteroposterior reconstruction for flat back deformity. No pain. She is here, however, because she has some prominence in her back that has gotten progressively more pronounced.

On examination, there is s/l right-sided hooks. I believe this needs to be removed. I feel she is solid because she has no pain.

Thanks for any help!!

A 22-gauge long spinal needle was inserted directly into the (s/l-THEP)  joint.  It's not hip.  I'm sure of that.  It sounds like it starts with a TH or an F.  This is for a fusion for a spinal fracture.
