Headings Spacing

error

"Subtypes "

Line 11:1 · Never put spaces at either end of headings.

warning

"The three types of cartilage vary in their density of the chondrocytes and extracellular matrix composition, including water content, amount of ground substance and elastin fibres and predominant collagen type. Thus, they also differ in their mechanical and viscoelastic properties ^1,2,4. "

Line 12:304 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong> </strong>'

Disc Spelling

warning

"menisci and articular disks"

Line 34:37 · Radiopaedia favours the 'disc' spelling: 'discs' rather than 'disks'.

List Caps

warning

"Eustachian tube"

Line 43:11 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Generally, cartilage features a relatively simple anatomical structure and does not contain any blood vessels, lymphatics or nerves ¹, even though some cartilaginous structures, such as the menisci of the knee, receive a blood supply."

Line 9:106 · Use the Oxford comma in 'vessels, lymphatics or nerves'.

"Hyaline cartilage is the most common type of cartilage in the human body. It is characterised by a firm consistency and a smooth surface. It can distribute loading forces at a very low frictional resistance, ensuring a smooth motion within joints. It features a low density of chondrocytes surrounded by an abundant extracellular matrix. The chondrocytes are characterised by rounded, elliptic or partly angular outlines depending on whether they lie alone or are arranged in groups. They form only a small part of the whole mass of the hyaline cartilage but are responsible for synthesising and maintaining extracellular matrix components ^2,3."

Line 14:380 · Use the Oxford comma in 'rounded, elliptic or partly'.

"larynx (part of the arytenoid, corniculate and cuneiform cartilages)"

Line 44:38 · Use the Oxford comma in 'arytenoid, corniculate and cuneiform'.

There Is

suggestion

"There is a wide spectrum of pathologies related to hyaline cartilage; this includes ¹:"

Line 57:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Semicolons
