Hi Sqad

[mazie]

Are you about? if possible would you mind telling me what this means in plain English. Thank you x

"Infraspinatus and subscapularis tendonosis with partial thickness tears. AC and glenohumeral joint arthropathy. Biceps effusion."

the old man fell off a roof and this is the report from the Ultra sound scan. Next stop Surgeon. He would like to know what this means before his visit.

[Sqad]

Hi! ...in simple terms, muscular damage, shoulder joint injury and fluid around the joint. Not a really big deal, but bad enough...;-)

Thanks Sqad...

The other thing that is confusing is the ultra sound technician said that there was a tendon missing in his shoulder and he would need an operation to reattach it ! The technician also said that the tendon was no where to be seen.. So all a bit confusing really !

[Sqad]

LOL...the tendon will be there mazie.....some where and i am not sure that a surgeon would be too keen to go looking for it.

This is going to be some time before it settles and he may always have a certain degree of disability in that shoulder.

Thanks so much Sqad. This whole thing has been a pain in the Yabbie ! This all happened a year ago and he's only just had a scan..... I'll let you know how he gets on with the Surgeon. I understand from the GP that he's a bit of a dragon, but very good.

[Sqad]

LOL......as long as he is a good surgeon, one cannot ask for more.
