Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Not sure about deepener. Probably referring to the action of a deepening reamer. Pulvinar is correct. That would probably be bowl curette. Quixote 3 words? There are 3 words here that I am having a problem with. This is a right hip replacement. After the capsule was excised, the pilot drill was then placed at about 90°, and the *s/l deepener* was then placed, followed by the acetabular expander. Once the acetabular expander was utilized, there was noted to be good cancellous bone with no evidence of any soft tissue. The *s/l pulvinar* was removed with a large *s/l ball* curet, and some cysts in the superior lateral border of the acetabulum were identified, and curetted, to clean up their soft tissue.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I cannot document a bowl curet or a ball curet. Since he is scraping fatty debris (pulvinar) from the acetabulum, I am thinking it can't be a bone curet. I did find a Ballenger curet. Could he be saying a brief form of that by saying ball? I do know now that pulvinar is correct, but I am still having the problem with s/l deepener. I cannot document this anywhere either. racz67 wrote:How about bowl curet? Monika 3 words?
