The following sites may be good starting points for links and for other information:
ORTHOPAEDIC TERMS:
| Abduction: | motion in sagittal plane—extremity moved away from midline |
| Adduction: | motion in coronal plane—extremity moved toward midline |
| Arthrocentesis: | aspiration of fluid from a joint |
| Arthrodesis: | fusion of a joint surgically |
| Comminuted: | Term used in regards to fractures indicating that there are several fragments of bone (more than two) – also: multifragmentary |
| Coxa: | refers to hip and prox. femur |
| Cubitus: | refers to elbow |
| Diastasis: | separation of bones that are attached by fibrous tissue (i.e. symphysis pubis). This is a distinct form of dislocation, which refers to a disruption of a diarthrodial joint |
| Dislocation: | complete disruption of a joint—loss of articular congruity |
| Genu: | refers to knee |
| Subluxation: | disruption of a joint with partial loss of congruity of articular surfaces. |
| Valgus: | angulation in a coronal plane—used in conjunction with a joint. Indicate that the extremity distal to the joint in question goes away from the midline.Example: genu valgum—knock-knees |
| Varus: | angulation in a coronal plane—used in conjunction with a joint. Indicate that the extremity proximal to the joint in question goes towards the midline.Example: genu varum—bow-legged |
| Commonly Used Abbreviations: | |
| AP: | anteroposterior (as in X-ray view) |
| BON: | brief operative note |
| CR: | closed reduction |
| DF: | dorsiflexion |
| DNVI: | distal neurovascular status intact. (Must be completely intact for you to write this.) |
| EBL: | estimated blood loss |
| EXFIX: | external fixation |
| F/U: | follow up |
| GET: | general endotracheal |
| HO: | House officer or doctor on call for particular service |
| IM: | intramuscular or intramedullary |
| IVF: | intravenous fluids |
| LE: | lower extremity |
| LAC: | long arm cast |
| LLC: | long leg cast |
| NPO: | nothing by mouth (no food or liquid)---used prior to surgery |
| NWB: | non weight bearing (strict, absolutely no weight on affected extremity) |
| OOB: | out of bed |
| ORIF: | open reduction internal fixation |
| OT: | occupational therapy |
| PF: | plantar flexion |
| POC: | post operative check |
| POD: | post operative day number |
| PP: | pin prick or percutaneous pinning |
| PT: | physical therapy |
| PWB: | partial weight bearing (need to note amount: for example 25%-50% -- this is a percentage of body weight) |
| SAC: | short arm cast |
| SLC: | short leg cast |
| TT: | tourniquet time (tourniquets are often used in surgery to decrease the amount of operative blood loss) |
| TTWB: | toe touch weight bearing (this is the least amount of weight bearing possible – it is just touch down of toe for balance) |
| UE: | upper extremity |
