Open reduction entrophic station
Subject: Open reduction entrophic station

What am I missing here?  This is in relation to an arm and knee.  It sounds like open reduction entrophic station but that does not make sense.  Normally it is ORIF.  So I am assuming I am mis-heaing internal fixation not entrophic station?

dilated, dilation and curettage, dilation of the bladder, dilation of the cervical os, etc. Dilatation is the state of being dilated after dilation takes place. I see that they are used interchangeably these days, but this is how I learned to differentiate between the 2 many years ago. An example of the proper way to use dilatation would be, the small bowel obstruction resulted in dilatation of the proximal small bowel. Most times, dilation is what you are looking for.

I'll have to remember that in case I ever have the need to go back to neuro.  Not one of my favorites, kinda sad, but okay at the time.
