http://www.medicaltranscription.com/or thopedic-words.html (common Ortho terminology) http://www.flashcardexchange.com/ta g/orthopedic (flashcards for learning Ortho terms) Did you notice that the editing file you completed was strikingly similar to a file you had in your regular reports? Many of you did better when you had type out an entire you report than you did spotting errors in the reports that were given to you. Work on editing!!!!!!!!!!! Due to the difficult nature of this week’s reports, I am issuing an extension on MT Client work. Week 5 reports are due on Friday, 11/25 by noon! “There is increasing elevation of the 5th toe, with a callus over the dorsolateral/dorsallateral aspect of the toe at the PID/PIP joint.” “He has tenderness of the lower cervical spine and over the left trapezius/trapzoid, but he has full range of motion of his C-spine.

Let’s take a look at the website for the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons http://orthoinfo.aaos .org/ Look at the left-hand side of the page – you should see a heading titled “Glossary of Orthopedic Words”. Also notice that you can locate terms based on a specific part of the body. Let’s say that you know a dictated report focuses on an injury to the wrist, but you can’t quite make out some of the terminology. Click on “Hand & Wrist”. What pops up for you? You may be able to narrow down the terminology options by the particular type of injury. Select any condition or injury you see listed here. Take a look at the information that the new page has to offer; you might find something that assists you with transcription! Is this a helpful site for you?
