warning

"Clubfoot and congenital talipes equinovarus are used synonymously in current paediatric radiological and orthopaedic practice 2,3, and the deformity may be either idiopathic (the great majority) or syndromic (e.g. arthrogryposis, myelomeningocele, distal arthrogryposis syndromes)."

Line 3:34 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>congenital talipes equinovarus</strong>'

"The broader Latin term talipes has historically been applied to a range of other congenital foot deformities in which the foot is not held in equinovarus, including talipes calcaneovalgus, talipes equinovalgus and talipes calcaneovarus 2. The term clubfoot is occasionally still used in this broader sense in birth defect surveillance contexts (cf. ICD-10 Q66.8 "clubfoot NOS"), but this usage is uncommon in current clinical and radiological literature."

Inline EG
suggestion

"Clubfoot and congenital talipes equinovarus are used synonymously in current paediatric radiological and orthopaedic practice 2,3, and the deformity may be either idiopathic (the great majority) or syndromic (e.g. arthrogryposis, myelomeningocele, distal arthrogryposis syndromes)."

Line 3:257 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The deformity involves both ankle and subtalar joints. Fixed malalignment is secondary to joint, ligamentous and tendinous contractures."

Line 8:108 · Use the Oxford comma in 'joint, ligamentous and tendinous'.
There Is
suggestion

"There is an immense number (estimated at 200) 8 of associations:"

Line 11:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"metatarsus adductus: adduction and varus deformity of the forefoot; talus to first metatarsal (Meary's) angle >15º"

Line 67:81 · Use semicolons judiciously.
