Orthopaedic help please
Subject: Orthopaedic help please

I am doing orthopaedic surgery work.  I am not used to this specialty.  Dictator keeps saying s/l ILL-ee-oh-SO-lus muscle.  I cannot verify this.  The closest I can find is the soleus muscle.  Can anyone help me verify this?
ORTHOPAEDIC HELP??!!
Subject: ORTHOPAEDIC HELP??!!

The patient has tenderness throughout the Achilles tendon from the musculotendinous junction to its insertion site.  He does not have any pain over the ____ (SOUNDS LIKE 'OWLSCOWLISIS' OR 'ASCOWLISIS').  There is not any restriction in dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, or eversion.


I have looked everywhere online - articles and pictures with diagrams - the only thing I've found that comes close is hallucis ... but what is he saying before it?  It doesn't sound like abductor, flexor, or extensor.


Any suggestions???


Thanks!  Jenni

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.

may be just too new to have much info on.  I did see an article on Google with the Oakland Bone and Joint Specialists, where he and a colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Mann, were pioneering a new total ankle replacement.  This is copyrighted for 2007-2008, so maybe he has developed dressings, bandages and such. 


I'm gonna save this one, and if I do find it verified in any medical books, etc., will send you a message about it.  Thanks for sharing!

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!

my trapezium bone? sm
Subject: my trapezium bone? sm

My left hand is hurting in that big, round, fatty area below my thumb.  I've had carpal tunnel symptoms before, and they've gone away when I make ergonomic changes, but lately it's not in the wrist so much but in that fatty part under the thumb.  I can't tell if it's the bone itself that hurts or the tissue that hurts, or both.  It's sore in the scaphoid and lunate bones, but much less so than the trapezium area.  Is this a problem related to carpal tunnel?  If not, then I remember about 6 months ago getting a sliver or something like that stuck in that area and I'm wondering if it could be from that.  There's no redness or an entry wound at all.


I'm getting my bone references from:  http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/hand/awrist.htm


It's not bad enough to run to the doctor, but it sure is annoying as an MT!  I really appreciate your opinions or experiences.
