Speaking on the basis of my familiarity with Standard American Medspeak, I 
suspect that ?Section of?? actually is ?Inspection of??. The latter would be 
standard and appropriate to the situation, while the former would be 
atypical and not quite sensical.

Best to your wife. My wife, of similar age, broke her shoulder in a freak 
accident a year ago and had a total shoulder replacement in the form of a 
reverse ball-and-joint prosthesis. Give me a total hip any day before.a 
total shoulder. Even the surgeon said so.
