| Type: | Patch |
| Reference: | 1875 |
| Version No: | 1.0 |
| Subject: | Attributes Not Showing Degree Symbol Correctly |
| Effective Date: | 26 September 2022 |
| Reason for Change: | Patch |
| Publication Date: | 4 October 2022 |
Background:
The following Attribute National Code descriptions are incorrectly displaying a masculine ordinal indicator instead of a degree symbol:
- ANKLE DORSIFLEXION CODE FOR PRIMARY ANKLE REPLACEMENT
- ANKLE PLANTARFLEXION CODE FOR PRIMARY ANKLE REPLACEMENT
- DEGREES OF FIXED FLEXION DEFORMITY FOR PRIMARY KNEE REPLACEMENT
- DEGREES OF FLEXION RANGE FOR PRIMARY KNEE REPLACEMENT
- TIBIA-HINDFOOT ALIGNMENT CODE FOR PRIMARY ANKLE REPLACEMENT
This patch corrects these items to correctly display the degree symbol.
