    I'm a little confused about callus/callous.  I know that "callous" is supposed to be like a callus or callus-like.  But when the doctor says that there is callus/callous tissue around the border of the wound, i can't figure out which one to use.  Which would be more appropriate?  Thanks in advance!

    Is it callous or callus and plural calluses? Does anyone have a good description? I always thought it was a sore on the foot, but the dictionary has it as a mass of tissue that forms at a fracture sight. There is no mention of a fracture and it is located between toes. Help please!!!!

    I thought I understood when to use which until now.  I have an company telling me that the proper use is "callus formation".  In 5+ years, this has never been an issue and I thought it was a part of "transcription 101" so to speak.  Any clarification would be helpful.

    periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?
    Subject: periosteal callus formation or periosteal callous formation?

    Could you all please tell me what the proper spelling of the above term is? I was under the impression it should be periosteal callus formation, but I got my report back with the correction that it should be periosteal callous formation?

    I thought callus was hardened bone or skin and callous was when someone was being insensitive?

    Thanks!
