Understanding Statement re: Spinal Fusion Hardware Moving?

By

Hello,

35F, multi-trauma injuries, many rx, super-morbid obesity, psychological issues.

I was approved for SSDI recently after a three year long battle following total disability from a near-fatal car accident. My approval letter notes something that greatly concerns me and I'm hoping I can get some answers here. I've sent a message to my new ortho surgeon who's taken over my case after my move from NY to VA, but have not heard back. I don't think my original surgeon would answer me as I'm no longer under his care. Spinal fusions were 2/2019, here is the section of concern:

"Moreover, the clamant's 2021 radiological examinations continued to demonstrate significant positive findings. A July 29, 2021 x-ray of the thoracolumbar spine showed findings of post-surgical changes of the thoracolumbar spine and bony resorption about the pedicle screws at L3 was suggestive of loosening."

Can someone please explain what this means? Thank you, kindly.

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
