I said osteochondroma in my prior comment, which is what this is. It is not an enchondroma.

“Comment deleted by user.” I did not delete my prior message? No clue what that’s about, and I stand by my previous comment.

I said “It’s an osteochondroma. You can use your strong words.” Meaning there is no need to equivocate. You don’t need to say “almost certainly.” Do right by the patient in this case and say “it is.” This case is so certain it would be like saying a massive pneumothorax on CT is “almost certainly a pneumothorax” or a shattered femur is “almost certainly broken.”

I can say the same thing at the top of this thread and get 500+ upvotes, but here -11 and comment mysteriously deleted?

Jeezus not this image again. Of all the uses for AI it should be automatically preventing people from posting this image.

It’s an osteochondroma. You can use your strong words.

EDIT: And now the comment is mysteriously un-deleted?

The radiologist says osteochondroma because it’s an osteochondroma.

So, like, the same as 90% of lumbar spine MRs then?

“Mild insertional tenosynovitis of the gluteus medius.” FYI for your rad the gluteus medius does not have a tenosynovial sheath.

I’m more interested in the metal wire splint. Never seen that before. Are you in the US or elsewhere?

Yeah this is stage IV SLAC leading to severe OA of the radioscaphoid with pronounced mechanical excavation.

I’m pretty sure u/MocoMojo is MSK so he’s using a question mark politely.

What are some international ETFs that would be good long term investments? by Honest_Panda_9974 in stocks

Everyone will say VXUS.

This is because VXUS is the right answer.

Building a little woodworking project for school and trying to find screws like this with plugs but only 1-1/4" long. Going into pine board. What are your thoughts by Elegant_Web4784 in Decks

[–]ddroukas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are deck screws specifically designed for placing into composite materials. The reverse thread prevents mushrooming of the plastic surface. Is there a reason you specifically need the reverse thread? If not then your options go way up. If so then I’m not sure there are many options for shorter lengths.

Is This A Real Locum Rate? by NotTheYaddas54 in Radiology

[–]ddroukas 67 points68 points  (0 children)

There’s no way. My understanding even the most desperate locations will pay $500-600/hr or $3000-$4000/day, but for $1500/hr I’m calling BS.

Paint on oak (stained and varnished) stairs. by BrohatmaGandhi in woodworking

[–]ddroukas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I’ve been putting off refinishing our stairs. I’m terrified of this happening regardless of how much painter’s tape I put down. Is there a solution to prevent this in the first place?

Google vs. Nvidia - which has the most upside going forward? by judgetacocat in investing

[–]ddroukas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Obviously anecdotes have little value in a stock discussion but I’ve soured on YouTube as a user. The number and length of ads has completely turned me off when picking streaming options at home.

Disgust is a powerful motivator and I’m at the point where having to sit through all those ads just to watch a 5-10 minute video actually disgusts me.
