    alot of my patients have OA in places other than the spine :)

    That's because for speed I only store the most common 1500 ICD9 codes in memory ...

    If you have a good site we can use, I can create a chickenfoot page to do the lookup ...

    Try searching on "osteo" instead of "osteoarthritis" !!

    osteoarthrosis.

    heh.

    osteoarthrosis is probably a better term than osteoarthritis, as OA isn't usually all that inflammatory.

    but no one uses arthrosis

    :)


    osteoa - is what I'll use.
