Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Originally the triad of erectile dysfunction, pelvis and thigh claudication, with an absence of the femoral pulses was described as Leriche syndrome; usually affecting younger (30-40 years) males ⁹. However, in contemporary use all aortoiliac occlusions with absent femoral pulses are commonly summarised under this eponym, concomitant sexual dysfunction being often, but not necessarily present ¹²."

Line 3:40 · Use the Oxford comma in 'dysfunction, pelvis and thigh'.
