Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The buttons consist of a flat plate, usually with two or four holes where the suture is passed through, usually in a reciprocal fashion. The cortical button is deployed through a bone tunnel and tensioned at the opposite cortex of the bone to which the respective ligament, tendon or suture is attached to 1-6."

Line 3:64 · Use the Oxford comma in 'designs, sizes and materials'.
Semicolons
suggestion

Line 7:35 · Use semicolons judiciously.
