lucycutler Posted 31 March , 2020 Share Posted 31 March , 2020 Hi, I am trying to decipher this item of medical terminology, namely 'Int Der Right knee'. The patient was subsequently listed as having Synovitis of the right knee. I found that ok on the internet but Int Der eludes me! Any help gratefully received pls.

LarsA Posted 31 March , 2020 Share Posted 31 March , 2020 Synovitis and internal derangement seem to match. https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/health-support/physical-health-and-wellness/compensation-illness-injury/disability-benefits/benefits-determined/entitlement-eligibility-guidelines/internald atb, lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 31 March , 2020 Share Posted 31 March , 2020 Yes, as Craig said. Internal Derangement Knee. Not to be confused with the abbreviation 'IDK'. Which means the writer doesn't have a clue what's wrong with the patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Dunlop Posted 2 April , 2020 Share Posted 2 April , 2020 It is always worth checking if a medical term, as understood today, meant the same thing or was even used at that time. A quick search of the BMJ Archive revealed the following report from a surgical hospital in Tidmouth, published in May 1918. Bearing in mind that this is a small subset of cases that presented with the symptoms and signs of internal derangement of the knee, it is interesting to note the references to the relative scale of the problem and to the two causes: Quote Since September, 1916, it has been found advisable to segregate the knee cases, owing to the large number, principally the result of football accidents, but at one time a number of injured knees followed trench training. There has been on an average at least twenty cases in hospital daily suffering from derangements of the knee-joint the result of injury.
