It is so hard to say. He could be slurring the S in from diagnosis with ac contusion. He does not make sense with any of his sentences. For example exact words ?? contusion foot contusion shin. He ends with shin. I have no clue. I am new at this with a doc with marbles in his mouth and doesn't finish sentences correctly. It is going to be a long night. Three reports from the same doc. :-( Calgon take me away.

Try google when you are unsure of a term -sm
Subject: Try google when you are unsure of a term -sm

put in the word as best you can with part of the sentence and see what comes up. I do that when I am unsure of a term and can usually find what I am looking for that way, its a lot faster than posting here, and it teaches you how to reference.
I would think it is lytic then, but if unsure flag it
Subject: I would think it is lytic then, but if unsure flag it

It seems your patient either had a replacement or fracture earlier (is there arthritis in the hx?) I often hear lytic lesions or lytic lines in the areas you mention on patients with arthritis/oseoarthritis. Lysis is the process of destruction of something (in this case, bone), which seems to have been ruled out by these x-rays.
Guess I just won't expand it, still unsure....
Subject: Guess I just won't expand it, still unsure....

because too many times when he uses the term PFC there is no other indication of a joint replacement system having been done or anticipated, so I still have my doubts that that is really what he means by these initials.  Thanks for your help.
