Subject: imho... Hohmann for orthopedics sm
Homan=most commonly a "sign" (calf pain with foot dorsiflexion. Hohmann=orthopedic retractor. Also Holman=lung retractor. I think Google is confusing because Homan is used incorrectly when Hohmann is correct spelling for ortho procedures; I don't think you'll find "Homan retractor" in any surgical instruments catalog, but there are LOTS of catalogs selling Hohmann retractors. My Stedman's only lists Hohmann (but I have an old 2nd ed.)...jmho

If the doc spelled it 3 times and it was absolutely clear, "acisional" is what he would get from me. Sounds like he knows exactly what he wants and if he bothered to spell it, he'd probably be an unhappy camper if you paraphrased for him. It's obvious he means "without an incision." I guess aincisional would look kinda dumb, probably why he spelled it. As likely as not it will be in the next medical dictionary edition as a legitimate word.

if you're allowed to edit i would change it to "T-cell nucleated count"; if not, then you're right, you need a hyphen to modify "count"... docs are so lazy... =)

Subject: "chronic stasis" can stand alone (imho) sm
stasis= noun: an abnormal state in which the normal flow of a liquid (such as blood) is slowed or stopped
docs often say it...chronic stasis...also say "chronic stasis dermatitis, or changes, or ulcers" but I think "chronic stasis" alone is okay.

I am not sure if this looks right but this the sentence that sounds like it is being said. I am wondering if "pub" is short for pubic?? Thanks for the ortho help, as I am at a loss in this area.
Osteopathic manipulative treatments were performed using muscle energy, Jones strain/counter strain, 7 stages of Spencer, leg tug technique, and a pub technique.
Thanks for your time.

Hi, I am new at ortho and have a couple of questions.
Physical Exam: There is an abrasion over the left anterior tibia. Left foot has normal dorsalis pedis and tibialis posterior pulses. The sensation is intact. *Capillary refill is less than 2 seconds.* Am I hearing this correctly?
Then he says: X-rays of the left femur and left *tib fib* are negative. Is it OK to say tib fib?
Thanks.

I'm working on a transcription for Orthopedics, and I'm not sure what the doc is saying before "cervical lodosis". It sounds like "attended", but maybe someone could give me a second opinion? Here's the sentence:
