Lint: capitate-fracture

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"In very rare circumstances, during a scaphoid and capitate fracture, the proximal aspect of the capitate can rotate 90 degrees into the sagittal plane, this is known as scaphocapitate syndrome 3, which could be better described as a trans-scaphoid, trans-capitate peri-lunar fracture-dislocation that reduces to result in an inversion of the proximal aspect of the capitate."

Line 12:264 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'trans-capitate'.
